Estonian on-demand ride-sharing service Taxify OU halted operations in London less than a week after they started, in response to an urgent investigation launched by the city’s transport authority.
The stoppage is temporary, and the Uber Technologies Inc. challenger wants “to clarify its legal position” with Transport for London, the local government body that administers the city’s subway, bus and taxi services, Taxify said Friday in an emailed statement. The company’s app informed users across the city that no drivers were available.
