London refused to renew Uber’s license for the second time since 2017. But this time poses a greater challenge for the ride-hailing firm, which now has less power to fend off regulators, write richardbeales1 and LiamWardProud.
Uber Technologies was stripped of its license to carry paying passengers in London on Nov. 25 for the second time in just over two years over a"pattern of failures" on safety and security. The ride-hailing company can continue to operate in the British capital pending an appeal.
Unauthorized drivers were able to upload their photos to others' accounts so that, on over 14,000 trips, a driver other than the advertised one picked up passengers, regulator Transport for London said. Uber said it would appeal. The process is likely to include court action and could drag on for months, allowing Uber's roughly 45,000 drivers in London, one of its most important markets, to keep taking rides despite its license expiring on Nov. 25.
