London's transit authority is set to announce as soon as Monday whether it will grant Uber Technologies Inc. a new license to operate.

If Transport for London decides against the company, Uber could face expulsion from its most important European market on Tuesday. A new long-term license would provide a level of certainty that Uber and its roughly 45,000 London drivers haven’t experienced in years.
