Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Uber announced it suspended its ride-hailing service in Barcelona, Spain, after the city imposed new regulations restricting the service there.
The Catalan government in the northeastern city imposed new rules requiring passengers to request rides at least 15 minutes in advance of when they plan to be picked up. The law is a concession to the city's taxi drivers, who have protested ride-hailing services as undermining their work.
