Uber Technologies announced on Tuesday that it has reached an agreement to connect its ride-hailing app with Italy’s top taxi dispatcher in order to expand its footprint in the eurozone’s third-largest economy.

The move is part of Uber’s aim of partnering with established cab companies to capitalise on a rebound in demand following the pandemic’s impact.

Over 12,000 taxi drivers in Italy will have access to the Uber platform thanks to an arrangement with IT Taxi. It will expand Uber’s existing business in major cities including as Rome, Milan, Turin, and Bologna by making the app available in over 80 new cities.
