Transport for London will not renew Uber’s operating license in the city, citing safety risks. Here’s why Wedbush’s Dan Ives calls this decision a “nightmare” for Uber.
"This means all the journeys were uninsured and some passenger journeys took place with unlicensed drivers, one of which had previously had their licence revoked by TfL," the regulator said.
"Over the last two months we have audited every driver in London and further strengthened our processes," Uber said of TfL's claims about unauthorized drivers being able to operate on its platform. "We have robust systems and checks in place to confirm the identity of drivers and will soon be introducing a new facial matching process, which we believe is a first in London taxi and private hire."to its app in an apparent attempt to allay regulatory concerns.
But labor union IWGB slammed the move, calling it a "hammer blow" to Uber's drivers. "We are asking for an urgent meeting with the Mayor to discuss what mitigation plan can now be put in place to protect Uber drivers," said James Farrar, chair of the union's private hire drivers branch.
