Now sources have surfaced to tell Bloomberg that the ridesharing service plans to do away with UberPOP (in Germany) altogether. The service will be replaced with properly licensed drivers. The start date of the service depends on when Uber is able to get the drivers certified with German authorities. Said one source, Uber has had "briefing sessions" with drivers about the upcoming changes, which include operating under its UberX model instead of UberPOP. This will give drivers a percentage of the driving fare rather than a flat rate. If the sources are correct, Uber is also going to take on the financial burden of getting its drivers in the region properly licensed so they can continue to operate. Uber has confirmed that it is busy prepping a service that will play nicely with the local regulations, but it hasn't confirmed any of the leaked details. SOURCE: Bloomberg
