Uber’s 45,000 drivers normally provide millions
of trips each month in London, where its
services have proved popular with residents
who want an alternative to the city’s more
expensive traditional black cabs. However, the
company has faced fierce opposition to its
services from cab drivers.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said that while Uber
has made improvements to get its license back,
the company will still be closely scrutinized.
“I can assure Londoners that TfL will continue
to closely monitor Uber and will not hesitate
to take swift action should they fail to meet
the strict standards required to protect
passengers,” Khan said.
