Uber no longer looking at Puerto Vallarta market

Deputy Chairman of the State Congress of Jalisco, Alejandro Hermosillo, announced that Uber has indicated that Puerto Vallarta is not among the company plans for expansion in Mexico after reviewing the area for several months.

"Unofficially, they (Uber) told me that it's not in their growth plans to reach Vallarta, understand that the situation here is complicated by the taxi unions and I think, if they want to enter, they would have to open up working groups to find a way."
