Balearic Islands want to curb permits for Uber & Co. – a reality check for Mallorca

Answer

What kind of rules could Mallorca use for new ride-service permits?

Possible options include prioritising locally based drivers, low-emission vehicles and operators with a fixed base on the islands. The government has also discussed tighter control, temporary limits and pilot projects in selected zones. For Mallorca, the aim would be to match permit rules more closely to actual transport capacity rather than relying on application numbers alone.
