London’s transit authority said Monday it is not renewing Uber’s license to operate in the British capital, dealing a major setback to the ride-hailing company.
Uber vowed to appeal the decision and has 21 days to do so. The company can continue operating while the appeals process is under way.
The transit authority said that despite addressing some issues, it “does not have confidence that similar issues will not reoccur in the future.”Uber said in a statement that the decision not to renew its London license “is extraordinary and wrong.” Transport for London had already been keeping Uber on an increasingly tight leash. It had renewed Uber’s license for only two months in September and imposed stricter conditions following concerns about aggressive corporate tactics and passenger safety.The transit authority said one of the key issues behind its decision was a change to Uber’s systems that allowed unauthorized drivers to upload their photos to other driver accounts.
