LONDON, Sept 22 – The car hiring app firm Uber will not be issued a new private hire licence, Transport for London (TfL) said Friday, China’s Xinhua news agency reported. TfL has concluded Uber was not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence after the expiry of its current licence on Sept 30.
TfL considers that Uber’s approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications. Uber has 21 days to appeal, during which it can continue to operate. — Bernama
