Uber is suspending its motorbike service in Bangkok, Reuters reports, after the Thai government determined that it conflicts with existing taxi services. Nunthapong Cherdchoo, a senior official in Thailand's transport ministry, stated that the government had ordered both Uber and Grab Bike to suspend their services. The move comes as Thailand has been trying to crack down on ride-hailing services like Uber, which have become popular among young people who are looking for cheap rides from home.
