Perhaps I should have said EU. Or market.
Either way, outside of madrid, you will have a hard time to find an uber in Spain, which is a complicated country.
Let us do the math.
EU has 450 million people, Europe has 740, give or take.
Deduct the Russian market from that, they are out over there.
It was banned then unbanned in places, fe Turkey.
In switzerland, the owe 150million in taxes, not clean solution, is it. In other words, it is worth it to them to operate there having to pay that restrospectivelly, I dare you, try to steal 150m from the Swiss and see how that goes.
Your list leaves plenty to be desired, it does not contain Greece and the Netherlands and Finland, and Belgium.
So 740 m minus
RU has 140m population, of which 100 to 110 m live in the european part.
660m left
Minus Germany and Uk, this leaves us with
510 million, by now, we have excluded almost the entire us population and the countries with most purchasing power for sure.
France, italy and lets say half spain is Nother 130m, leaving us with 380m.
This is half of whole Europe and half of the european union and we are not through yet.
Next most populated country would be ukraine, I would say legal or not, their serives are currently disrupted there by ongoing events.
In other words, europes best economies do not wanna hear about uber and there was no popular uprising about it.
They should take the hint and stay away.
Theybare venditor non grata, that is a horrible business result after a decade of operations.
