Uber: We're leaving Broward on July 31

The popular ride-hailing service Uber announced Monday it will withdraw completely from Broward County on July 31.

The disruptive California start-up that has raised government hackles across the globe previously withdrew from the airport and port in Broward, hoping the gesture would persuade county commissioners to hold back on new laws Uber says it can't abide by.

That didn't work.

Uber will still operate in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, where it's working toward new regulations.

In Broward County, the rules Uber didn't like required each driver to obtain a county chauffeur registration, a car permit and background check.
