In a statement today TfL said it has concluded that Uber is “not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence”.

“TfL’s regulation of London’s taxi and private hire trades is designed to ensure passenger safety. Private hire operators must meet rigorous regulations, and demonstrate to TfL that they do so, in order to operate. TfL must also be satisfied that an operator is fit and proper to hold a licence,” it said.

With the huge religion of peace population in London, does this surprise you?

At least they speak American there. When I travel abroad uber is so much easier because I don't have to try and communicate to them my destination in whatever 2nd rate language the locals use.

Lame

Although black cabs are definitely superior to Uber

Also, in my experience you see more Muslims driving Uber in London than black cabs or minicabs

Uber was incredibly easy to use in London. We could order uber for 6 without a problem, and always took less than 5 min. It is just a better product.

I'm my limited experience Black Cabs have far less Muslim drivers than Uber does.

So if anything, I'd say it's the opposite.

I go to London often and have never had a muzzie driver. Have had a cockney or two. Great people who when speaking I can understand nothing.

You're actually better off taking a cab in London. I was just there 2 weeks ago and Uber was awful

You're actually better off as a consumer if you have multiple services competing for your business rather than accepting whatever service the government decides is best for you.
