An Uber car is seen parked with the driver's lunch left on the dashboard in Venice, Los AngelesBy Eveline Danubrata JAKARTA (Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc [uBER.UL] said on Tuesday it had received the green light from the Jakarta governor to operate in the Indonesian capital after giving assurances that it would comply with local tax rules and other requirements. Jakarta police had earlier this year deemed the U.S. car-hailing service illegal, saying its drivers did not pay the correct taxes and the company did not have the license needed to operate as a form of public transport.
