Although there are few cases, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has detected that Uber is providing urban services in 11 municipalities

The Foral Institution has offered these municipalities the training of local police officers to carry out inspections on public roads "within the scope of their competences, as provided for in the Organic Law on Land Transport".

The Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has ascertained that Uber has provided urban services in Donostia-San Sebastián and other towns in the territory, and that it is the local police that are responsible for carrying out inspection and punishment in these cases, and has cooperated with these municipalities.

The Member of Parliament for Mobility of Gipuzkoa, Azahara Dominguez, has insisted that the foral institution has exclusive competence in the field of GTI in inter-urban travel and, in that case, he has said that what Uber does between municipalities is' legal ', although the original authorization comes from the Bizkaia Council. 

He explained that his department has access to the system of the Ministry of Transport, where it is possible to check the routes being carried out by the GTIs, which has made it possible to verify that Uber, since arriving in San Sebastian on 18 February, has provided services within the city when it is not authorized to do so.

It has also been established that during this month and a half it has also provided urban services in other localities of the territory, so that the Council has contacted each of these municipalities to inform them of this infringement of the company and to provide training to the local police, and Dominguez has indicated that several of these municipalities have already approved this assistance. 

The Member points out that the inspection and punishment of urban routes is the responsibility of the municipalities. "That is why our inspectors have shown their readiness to cooperate with the local police in the inspection. From the Government of Gipuzkoa we are prepared to deepen the path of cooperation, as we do with all other matters, in this area as well," he said.
