Bitch Bojo was a good mayor see: Boris Bikes.

But I couldn't stomach supporting Goldsmith this time so I supported Khan in both rounds and I still stand by my vote

Weak and ineffectual, for standing behind the rule of corporate responsibility?

I would have thought that would be in the social interest, but no I guess bojo and his 'garden bridge' ' water cannon' pie in the sky ideas that wasted 100s of millions of pounds of public money is stronger

if safety is the key issue here i don't understand why they have been allowed to continue trading? it is a fudge, he has passed the buck to a judge to make a decision and it will be more than likely overturned at that point, also I didn't say Bojo was good, I said Khan is making him look good

Take off a further 10% of attacks, simply as I do not want people to be all like (omg but you have more attacks by licensed safe people because there are 2.5k more of them in the stats). 10% off 70, leaves 63. 10% off 42.5k leaves 38,425 drivers. Which leaves us with

So uber 32 in a year
'Licensed cabs' 63 in a year. Nearly double.

Clearly more attacks among these 'safe' licensed cabs eh...

Vicky I'm sorry but I can't handle your maths!

All you need to do to scale this is;

(Total Uber / Total Other) x (Attacks by Other)

40 / 85 x 141

= 66 (.35)

correct, if you cant afford a proper taxi then dont go out or do something that you can use public transport at a reasonable time. One cuts ones cloth accordingly.

In a fresh statement, released after a petition against his decision became the fastest growing this year, Mr Khan said: "I have every sympathy with Uber drivers and customers affected by this decision but their anger really should be directed at Uber.”
“They have let down their drivers and customers by failing, in the view of TfL, to act as a fit and proper operator.
"I suspect it will take some time before this situation with Uber fully plays out,” the mayor added.

Maths was not my strongest subject at school, and I don't remember most of it

I was kind of off my tits on morphine and it was occupying me to try and sort it all out. Was close enough though by the looks of it

Uber are a seriously dodgy company, and it says a lot that so many care more about the cost of a taxi than their personal safety. Seems to me different rules are applied when it personally saves a few quid.

I do agree that there is a place for a service like Uber, but it has to provide fundamental levels of protection to its customers. Uber has lost its license to operate in many cities across Europe and in the USA, so they are not being unfairly picked on. They need to revise their operating practices if they wish to continue.

So because with uber gone you suggest I stay away from London, to save money as me and my friends will not be able to afford a black cab?

Yes lets save money by not atteneding the concert we have already paid for in November, that'll save us money
