London’s transit operator on Monday declined to renew Uber’s license to operate in the British capital, one of its biggest markets, citing safety breaches. Uber has 21 days to appeal.
Transport for London's decision, which Uber called"extraordinary and wrong," cited"several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk."
It’s the latest chapter in Uber’s rocky history with London transport officials, who have been subjecting the San Francisco-based company to ever tighter scrutiny over concerns about passenger safety and security. The company fired back, pointing out that TFL had found it to be fit and proper in September, when it was given a two-month license renewal.
In the latest decision, the transit authority said it was concerned that Uber’s systems “seem to have been comparatively easily manipulated” by drivers.
