(MENAFN) US fined the taxi-alternative's California subsidiary Uber USD7.3 million for refusing to give state regulators information about its business practices, Arab News reported.
The fine was part of a ruling by an administrative law judge at the California Public Utilities Commission, which allowed Uber and its competitors such to operate in the state as long as they reported their activities.
The utilities commission wants to see whether drivers are accepting fares evenly. The judge acknowledged that the company provided some of the contested information but said it was not enough.
"Uber has already provided substantial amounts of data to the California Public Utilities Commission, information we have provided elsewhere with no complaints," Uber spokeswoman said.
