walshie 2,804 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Uber won't be issued a new private hire licence in London when their old one expires on 30th as Tfl said they were not fit and proper. No shit. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-41358640 I expect Marshman is chuffed. At least they used to go South of the river after midnight, Eh MM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I've never used them Partly because they don't operate in these parts and partly because I don't want to be driven by an Uzbekistani with a satnav and no sense of direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,291 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Got to be honest all my kids love it, they can monitor it on the mobile no money changes hands, and they even come and take my daughter 400 yards up the road when I,ve had a few scoops to many to be driving, I expect Sadik can't will replace them with flying carpets or some other mates taxi outfit from Baghdad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 But they can still operate in Scotland ! That can't be right can it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think they can still operate everywhere, just not London. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,756 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 One of the many reasons why they've decided to try and revoke its license is because it's failure report any crime caused by its drivers . Something l like 9 sexual assaults a week are reported by its drivers. I wouldn't let my wife or daughter get into a uber cab . Two black cabs pay more tax in this country than the whole of uber. I could go on but I'm in a bit of a good mood ???? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sussex 5,776 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I can't think uber will take it lying down , they are going to appeal and I fancy a few law suits flying about threatening all manner of dire consequences... My daughter works in the city every day and is a frequent cab user but only ever black cabs .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could go on but I'm in a bit of a good mood i,m a little shocked and surprised by this, when you say 9 sexual assaults reported a week by its drivers do you mean 9 drivers are assaulted every week or 9 drivers get reported for assault each week? I,m not trying to be pedantic but cannot believe that is happening and there is not a huge outcry or some kind of reporting of this ,my kids as mentioned also use uber so another cause for concern on my part. Do you have any kind of links to validate these stats or is this just Chinese whispers ? Again not trying to disagree but asking as a concerned dad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
