Indonesia seizes Uber cars in new setback

JAKARTA: Thirty Uber cars have been seized in the Indonesian capital Jakarta in recent months, a transport official said Monday, prompting the controversial ride-hailing app to accuse authorities of “unreasonable intimidation.”

The news came after the city of Bandung, on the main island of Java, last week banned Uber, and as the Silicon Valley company faces challenges worldwide from regulators concerned about its business model and traditional taxi drivers angered at what they see as a threat.
