Uber to lose license to transport passengers in London

The London transport office has withdrawn the license of ridesharing company Uber for the second time because it has once again been found that the company does not meet the requirements, reports Financial Times.
Transport for London (TfL) has discovered over 14,000 cases of transport carried out by drivers who were not authorized to do so. This threatened the safety of passengers, and the independent assessment of the company's operations concluded that it is currently unable to prevent such a problem from occurring in the future.
“We admit that Uber has made progress, but we cannot accept the fact that the company allowed passengers to board cars whose drivers may not have a license or insurance,”  Helen Chapman from TfL said.
Uber has 21 days to submit an appeal. Until then, and for the duration of the appeal, it may continue to provide services in London.
