Why is London is Banning Uber from its streets? (22)
galrads: London is kicking Uber out. Non Compliance? Is there another reason for this? Cars not big enough for royalty maybe?
"The decision not to renew Uber’s license could end up causing a major upheaval in the lives of the 30,000 to 40,000 licensed Uber drivers there and the roughly 3.5 million Londoners who rely on them."

Probably because the cars/drivers fail to respect the laws in place to protect would be passengers. Uber brought it on themselves, they had plenty of warnings.

Yup, it's been a great scam for Uber ... but more and more I think they're gonna banned for their unethical and often illegal practices!
Good riddance to bad rubbish ...

London. Never been there, except for Heathrow airport in 2007.
Once there, I noticed why NY was hit so hard in 2001.

Because company does not pay minimum wage, or sick and holiday pay.
Company does not vet its drivers well enough and SOME some i said passaengers have had bad experinces.
It was a long time ago when workers could be exploited so in out country and when it happens it gets stepped on.

The facts are that Zero hours contracts still exist. Exploitation has not been stepped on since 2010 either under the coalition and the Tories since the last election. -- Some Tories, Liberals and even Labour Politicians are wealthy and have shares & investment in businesses which employ over 70% of male & female staff on Zero hours contract labour.

There is a place for zero contracts and some workers enjoy the flexibility but when a whole company emplys this method for all its workforce not just for a few positions that is explotation i mean mike

Thankyou, Riz.
Am I right in thinking uber is an American company?
Am I right in thinking they have been accused of using some kind of technology to avoid some kind of compliance?

We have yellow cabs here and they are all painted yellow.
Is there a special reasons why the black cabs are called black cabs there when they are of various color?

When I go to visit my family in New York. I used to take a taxi to go between Penn (Pennsylvania) Station and Grand Central Station in NYC. Now I take the subway. It's cheaper and faster and I don't ever go outside and have to cross busy streets. Last time I took a taxi a few years ago it cost $15. not including tip to go about 2 miles. The subway is $3.
