Reasonable approach: Sao Paolo may opt to regulate Uber instead of banning it outright.

Sao Paulo is looking at ways to regulate the Uber ride-sharing service instead of backing an outright ban proposed by local Brazilian lawmakers, the mayor of South America's biggest city said at a university event in Paris. 

"We're analysing a law that passed in Sao Paulo but has still not been signed, because we want to find a middle way," Mayor Fernando Haddad said in remarks posted online. "The executive branch is analysing the law and we have about 10 days to announce the measures we consider appropriate."
