The ban comes after the national association of taxi drivers brought a lawsuit against Uber, the San Francisco-based taxi and car-sharing service, because its drivers don't have the necessary permits. The preliminary injunction is pending a full lawsuit that Taxi Deutschland, a German cab company that also offers a mobile app, brought against Uber.
