Both are quite bad issues. Also, that they run against the local
regulations in several countries, undermining authorizations that for
better or for worse have been in place for decades. Of course, it's
sometimes good to review whether said authorizations should be updated
- but the fait accompli way they use does not remotely amuse me.

Bad translation...
Should be Mr. *Su* (蘇先生) instead.

For what it's worth, I had good success using Uber last night to get

First of all, sorry for the inconvenience.  I've just called the
number on the page and confirmed that:

* The number on the page is indeed only in Mandarin, and
* They don't offer a number for English service, at least not in the
knowledge of the people who took the call.

I'm not a member of the local team though, just FYI while I edit the
page for good.
