Uber Chief Executive Officer Travis Kalanick recently announced at a conference in Munich that the company could create 50,000 jobs in a new partnership with European Cities, Pulse reports.
"At the end of 2015, if we can make these partnerships happen, we create 50,000 new EU jobs," Kalanick said, according to the site.
"Uber wants to partner closely with tax authorities to increase transportation providers' compliance and overall tax revenue for cities and countries across Europe," he added.
The application-based transportation network specializing in taxi services plans to improve relations with governments around the world-it seeks to do so by working with state officials and national courts on developing policy that ensures observation of safety procedures and economic regulations.
The company's growing role in the transportation service industry has been a concern to many, including government officials and other taxi companies that are not application-based.
Although the national governments of Thailand, France and Spain have banned Uber operations within their respective countries and a growing number of United States cities are beginning to file lawsuits against the company, it is still attempting to expand itself internationally and improve its image along the way.
"We want to make a strong effort in 2015 in Europe," Kalanick also said during his recent announcement, the Wall Street Journal reports.
He added that he wants the company to reach "an inflection point" where it size could impact its future relations with cities.
