#LONDON PRIVATE HIRE VEHICLE LICENSE DRIVER#
TfL says the extension has the same conditions Uber has been subject to over the past 15 months, as well as some new conditions “to ensure passenger safety” which it says cover ride sharing, appropriate insurance and driver document checks by Uber. And in June 2018 a UK court granted it a provisional 15-month licence so it could continue to work on satisfying TfL’s conditions.īut the latest short leash extension puts the company on watch again. Uber went on to claim it was making changes to improve its processes and come into compliance with the regulator’s requirements.

The then scandal-struck company was nonetheless allowed to continue operating in London during an appeal process. The backstory here is TfL’s decision two years ago to deny Uber’s application to renew its licence - when it raised a range of safety and corporate governance issues. The ride-hailing giant’s current (provisional) licence expires tomorrow but there’s no return to normality for Uber in its most important European city - with TfL issuing just a two-month extension on its private hire vehicle licence - not a full five-year term, as Uber had hoped. London’s transport regulator, TfL, has given Uber a temporary reprieve to continue operating in the UK capital.
