Fate of Iranian ride-hailing firms hang in balance

Financial Tribune - Tehran Municipality took Iran E-Commerce Union to court on Monday over illegally issuing permits to local ride-hailing companies Snapp and Tap30.

Mohammad Rahmani, the unions lawyer, told Webna, The judge postponed the hearing by demanding representatives of the transportation startups to also attend the court.

Reza Olfatnasab, the union's spokesman, wrote on Twitter that Tehran Municipalitys ICT Organization Chief Mohammad Farjood is making efforts to make the two sides reach an out-of-court settlement, "however, this has not materialized so far".

Mohammad Jafar Nanakar, Iran IT Organizations deputy for legal affairs, tells Financial Tribune, Since both Snapp and Tap30 will be affected by the courts ruling and they are well aware of the process that led to the issuance of permits by the union, the firms should be present in court.

The court may also call upon Iran ICT Guild Organization to participate in the proceedings as an independent observer, he added.
