US ride-hailing company to appeal after Transport for London says it is not a ‘fit and proper’ operator
Uber has been stripped of its London licence in a surprise move that dealt a serious blow to one of Silicon Valley’s fastest rising companies and sparked an outcry from a coalition of customers, government ministers and drivers at the ride-hailing company.
The firm’s application for a new licence in London was rejected on the basis that the company is not a “fit and proper” private car hire operator.
