Uber users in Quebec, Canada, might need a new way to get around — the ride-hailing service could be on its way out.

Uber says it may leave the province in October because of new government rules.

The Transportation Ministry reportedly says new drivers now need 35 hours of training — the same as taxi drivers. Before, Uber drivers there only had to train for 20 hours.

The government also wants Uber to change how it does criminal background checks and use police instead of private firms.
