Uber has reportedly announced plans to create up to 20,000 new jobs and serve another two cities in Mexico, a report said.
The company's communications director for Latin America, Ana Paula Blanco, refused to offer more details but added that that in Mexico, Uber had its "largest operation in all Latin America and one of the most important for the company internationally," reported News.com.au.
Blanco said that the taxi-hailing service intended to create between 15,000 and 20,000 jobs in Mexico, where it currently operates in Mexico City, Tijuana, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
Barring Mexico, Uber also operates in Panama, Colombia, Peru, Chile and Brazil.
The Organised Taxi-Drivers of Mexico City filed a complaint in December against the capital's Mobility Secretary Rufino Leon Tovar for allowing Uber to operate without abiding by the regulations.
The company has faced protests from drivers, companies and unions of traditional taxis in other parts of the world too for failing to comply with rules and guidelines.
