Uber London Ban

Uber can keep operating in London after the ride-hailing company won a court appeal on Monday against the refusal by transit regulators to renew its licence.

London's transport authority banned Uber for a second time on Monday, citing concerns about customer safety after vulnerabilities in the app let drivers fake their identities in thousands of rides.

Ola said it had started signing up drivers in London on Tuesday and will start service in the city within weeks.

Uber accepted it had made mistakes but said it had changed as it went to court on Monday to overturn a decision stripping it of its licence in London after it was ruled unfit to run a taxi service in its most important European market.

Regulator Transport for London (TfL) shocked the Silicon Valley firm by rejecting its licence renewal bid in September.

Uber will defend its right to operate in London in a court hearing on Monday after the app was deemed unfit to run a taxi service and stripped of its licence in its most important European market.

The legal battle pitches one of the world's richest cities against a tech giant known for its forays into new markets around the world.

Uber said it was joining the International Association of Public Transportation (UITP) to connect more people to public transport.

Khan said Uber's appeal process against a decision by London's transport regulator to strip the taxi app of its operating licence in the British capital could take years.

Uber says its drivers enjoy the flexibility of their work and are self-employed, entitling them in British law to only basic entitlements such as health and safety.

US ride-hailing app Uber on Friday lost a landmark case in Britain that would give drivers the right to paid holidays and the national minimum wage.

Friday's filing is a short notification of Uber's intention to appeal rather than the detailed grounds.

Transport for London (TfL) shocked the Silicon Valley firm last month by deeming it unfit to run a taxi service and refusing to renew its license, citing its approach to reporting serious criminal offences and background checks on drivers.

Uber's Northern European Manager Jo Bertram will leave the firm in the next few weeks, according to an email sent to staff seen by Reuters.
