Why Was Uber Banned in London? This Is Everything We Know About It

Uber is fighting their case.

The ride service app is pushing back, however, because according to Uber, they fixed this flaw long before the ban was even announced, way back in May 2019. Upon discovery, they informed TfL, and updated the app to prevent it from happening again. From there, they proceeded to audit all London-based Uber drivers. 

Uber has 21 days to appeal their loss of license, and according to the brand, they can still operate while the issue is being reviewed. However, according to Bloomberg, TfL claims they aren’t pleased because the problems reportedly continued through October 2019. For this reason alone, they aren’t convinced the problems won’t continue happening.
