Aligni­ng the compan­y with such author­ities was a good way to make Uber a better partne­r for cities­Ride-hailing app Uber said on Monday it was joining a global public transport association to improve mobility in the cities it operates in. Uber also said it was joining the International Association of Public Transportation (UITP) to connect more people to public transport. Andrew Salzberg, Uber’s head of transportation policy and research, said aligning the company with public transport authorities was a good way to make Uber a better partner for cities. UITP represents public transport providers around the world, including Transport for London (TfL) – which in September stripped Uber of its operating license. Three Uber security managers resign after CEO criticises practicesAlain Flausch, Secretary General of UITP, said Uber joining the association was a sign that the company wanted to have a better relationship with regulators.
