Uber Licence In London

Not footy related but uber have lost it's licence in London.

Reasons given that it "could pose a threat to Londoners' safety and security"

And because "Opponents of the firm claim it causes gridlocked roads and does not do enough to regulate its drivers."

This has gotta be nonsense and probably just black cabbies complaining.

I see thousands of black cabbies every weekend in London so they can't be doing that bad.

What do people think? Had any issues with uber?

You are right - though local cab companies were mainly affected as they suddenly couldn't get away with charging ridiculous rates for easy journeys.

This. I don't blame uber for 'competing' businesses failing to compete.

The John Worboys rape charges were so publicly paraded was because it was such a rare if not unheard of situation,Uber sexual assaults are running at a weekly occurrence,which Tfl could not ignore hence the ban,after giving them a four month extension on their previous license to make improvements which were not forthcoming,Uber think they are too big and powerful with top politicians in their pockets to be apprehended,a public inquiry is needed to bring Uber to book.

Uber drivers can't drive, cabbies aren't better but they do these ridiculous turns and stop in the middle of the road and the less crap like that the better

This for me is a safety issue, probably not what others are after though with regards to safety

It's dangerous letting people off in the middle of the road as well, horns don't make them move either which is pretty facking annoying when driving behind them
