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

Answer

Why is Mallorca reviewing ride-service permits one by one?

Court decisions require the administration to examine each application individually, rather than approving or rejecting them as a group. That makes the process slower, but it is meant to ensure that every permit is assessed under the current rules. In Mallorca, that also reflects the broader debate about how much extra traffic the island can manage.
