What is the minimum waiting time for Uber in Spain?

Uber said Thursday that it would suspend its service in Barcelona. It follows a ruling from the regional Catalan government that there has to be a 15-minute delay between a passenger booking a call and being picked up. This naturally dents one of the major commercial advantages of ride-hailing apps: speed.
