SAO PAULO: The mayor of Sao Paulo, South America's largest city, laid out regulations to allow the use of Uber and other ride-hailing apps in exchange for a mileage fee, triggering anger among taxi drivers who blocked major avenues. 

Mayor Fernando Haddad plans to formalise the decision with a decree on May 11, overriding attempts by city council members to ban Uber and other apps they accuse of unfairly competing with licensed taxis.
