Default Uber has lost its License to Operate in London

Not good news


[Uber has been stripped of its London operating licence by the
regulator in a major blow to the ride-hailing app.
The firm's permit has not been renewed after
"several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk"
were identified, Transport for London said.
The firm is almost certain to appeal the decision during
which time it will be able to continue to operate.]

Yes it did but
Uber got a 15month Extension


There is a Safety issue over Insurance

Uber now has 21 days to appeal
against TfL's decision and can
continue to operate during that period.

i would like to know a couple of things:

1) If the breaches are so bad that it means losing their license, why are similar steps not taken in other cities in the UK where it operates.

2) How many breaches have there been by black cabs and private hire firms

From a Debate on LBC Radio
14,000 illegal Uber photos (other Uber drivers)
were uploaded to TFL.
So London Based only.


Making the Insurance Dangerous
meaning in a accident no money help
for the passenger.


[Uber's use of secret software, called "Greyball",
which could be used to block regulators
from monitoring the app,
was another factor, according to TfL.]

The Boss of Uber
was on ITV1 London
he said he gave the info of 43 drivers
using other photos to TFL.

And he claimed
he has stopped this.

Also the Boss of Uber
was on BBC1 London
he gave TFL the 43 driver fraud Data May of this year,
so he is saying that Uber Fraud has been halted.
