The ride-share company was stripped of its license over a"pattern of failures" around passenger safety.Transport for London announced it was refusing to renew the license — which expired on Monday — over a "pattern of failures" surrounding passenger safety.
It claimed the company allowed unauthorized drivers to upload their photos to other Uber driver accounts, allowing them to pick up passengers as though they were the booked driver — which occurred in at least 14,000 trips. Another failure allowed dismissed or suspended drivers to create an Uber account and carry passengers, again compromising passenger safety and security, it said.
The ride-share firm now has 21 days to appeal, during which it can continue to operate, before driving for the company becomes illegal.
