Uber has reapplied for a licence to operate in Aberdeen five years after withdrawing its previous application.
Residents have also been urged to have their say on the plans to bring the taxi firm to the Granite City, with the company having previously confirmed its intention to reapply.
In 2019, Uber withdrew its application following controversy surrounding objections to its plans to bring the service to the north-east.
Currently, the company only operates its Uber Eats food delivery service in and around the city.
Now, in an update through the Our Union Street group, it has been revealed that the firm has reapplied to the city council for a licence.
Anyone wishing to show their support or objection to the plans has just over two weeks to have their say, and residents have been urged by the group to do so.
The update reads: "Uber has applied for a licence to operate in Aberdeen.
"The window is open for anyone to submit objections or letters of support to the local council at licensing@aberdeencity.gov.uk – the window closes on Friday, May 10.
"I know when we asked for improvement suggestions last year that many of you suggested bringing Uber to Aberdeen would be a good move.
"If you support the idea, drop a note to the licensing committee, similarly, if you have grounds to object."
