Uber can keep operating in London for another
year and a half after winning its appeal of a
decision by the British capital’s transit regulator
not to renew its license.
The San Francisco-based ride-hailing company
had challenged Transport for London’s decision
in late 2019 not to renew its operating license
over safety concerns involving impostor drivers.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram said he found
Uber to be “fit and proper” and granted the
company an 18-month license extension, which
comes with 21 conditions including providing
regular, independent reports to authorities.
