totally agree with this. Uber can keep their license by mending their ways - and it makes economic sense for them to mend their ways. Shouldn't have been allowed to become so established with such a flawed working model but action is better late than never.Of course I'm delighted. Properly regulated drivers who've had to do years of training for their jobs currently have some job security returned to them. I am so fed up of seeing people moaning about the cost of licensed cabs - it's not the cabbies, or even the companies that set the fare tariff - it's the bloody councils, and in this case, TfL....how could they possibly justify allowing another company to undercut the people they licence to work? And don't even get me started on the tax dodging of the parent company as a whole, or the whole seedy side to some of the people who as Uber drivers, or the failing to report serious incidents.
The 'sacked' dreivers - most will sign up with other companies as the same amount of journeys will be taken by the public.
