In an open letter, the Director General of Uber in Portugal, Manuel Pina, advises the Regional Government to turn TVDE into an engine of growth and increased mobility, and that wasn't it high time that the island's government adopted the policies of the Azores with regard to TVDE, and dropped their unfair licensing rules which came into effect in 2021.

The UBER transport platform will stop operating in the Autonomous Region of Madeira as of Thursday, the 6th of May, due to the Regional Government limiting the number of TVDE vehicles allowed to operate in the region to 40.
Following the announcement of the suspension of UBER's activity in Madeira, a petition has been created to review and amend the Proposed Regional Legislative Decree ‘Adaptation to the Autonomous Region of Madeira Law No. 45/2018,’ dated the 10th of August, which establishes the legal regime for the activity of individual and remunerated passenger transport vehicles that are not listed on an electronic platform.
Under a new Uber Law, Madeira will allow a maximum of 40 TVDE vehicles to operate on the island, with a maximum of 3 vehicles per operator. These are the main changes to the national legislation that will be approved by the Regional Assembly today, the 24th of June.
