Uber is fighting for ride-sharing rights the old-fashioned way: by delivering letters to the government by a horse and cart. The company printed out more than 15,000 customer emails that support the company's right to offer its car service in the country and delivered them to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Tuesday.
"Unfortunately, thousands of these emails were deliberately blocked by the parliament and were not received," Sam Bool, Uber Queensland's General Manager said in a statement. "To ensure the voices of those that want ridesharing in Queensland will still be heard, today we hand delivered these emails to the premier's office."
