This one will make OBL happy - they've lost their licence to operate in London. 21 days to appeal.
I'm loathe to handing a black cab driver ~£40 to make the same journey while espousing some racist ***** while doing so.
40,000 jobs down the pan. :sad:
Meh. They'll appeal and sort themselves out in the process. Probably the right decision in the short term if it is indeed intended as a warning for Uber to improve itself, but I can't see this sitting well with the majority of people in London who've embraced Uber. I've grown quite accustomed to paying an entirely reasonable £12-16 to get home from central, and I'm loathe to handing a black cab driver ~£40 to make the same journey while espousing some racist ***** while doing so.
Quick question your hubby is under Castle Point? If so who's idea was it to stop the knowledge test for that borough?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.

Because I'm sure all black cabbies declare all of their cash fares!
Hopefully uber can sort their stuff out because as a service it's great.
Always the dramatic as usual,get a grip sonny.
