Transportul urban alternativ prin intermediul platformelor digitale

Prof. univ. dr. Alexandru ŢICLEA

ABSTRACT

Starting from the Uber application, published in the USA (in 2010), a new form of work in the field of alternative urban transport has developed in European countries, including our country. The Court of Justice of the European Union (Grand Chamber), in its judgment of 20 December 2017 in Case C-434/15, ruled that an alternative transport intermediary service using a smartphone application must be classified as a 'transport service'. And not one belonging to "online commerce services".

The Romanian legislator, considering the rulings of the European Court, adopted the O.U.G. no. 49/2019 on alternative transport activities with car and driver, normative act analyzed in this study.

Keywords: digital platform, intermediate service beneficiary, intermediate service provider, self-employed, dependent worker, alternative urban transport, uberization.
