Uber licence to operate in London, has been withdrawn by Transport for London (TfL) for fears of passenger safety.

Transport for London(TfL) said they have not renewed Uber’s licence after “several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk.”londonlovesbusiness.com reports.

TfL stated in a statement, “Despite addressing some of these issues, TfL does not have confidence that similar issues will not reoccur in the future, which has led it to conclude that the company is not fit and proper at this time.”

Helen Chapman, director of licensing and regulation at TfL said, “As the regulator of private hire services in London we are required to make a decision today on whether Uber is fit and proper to hold a licence. Safety is our absolute top priority.

“While we recognise Uber has made improvements, it is unacceptable that Uber has allowed passengers to get into minicabs with drivers who are potentially unlicensed and uninsured.

“It is clearly concerning that these issues arose, but it is also concerning that we cannot be confident that similar issues won’t happen again in future.
