On Monday, London City Hall issued a statement ruling that the Uber was “not fit and proper” to operate in the city, which is the ride-hailing company’s largest European market. Uber now has 21 days (during which it can still operate) to lodge an appeal.
To readers who follow the travails of London’s mobility scene, this situation may sound familiar: The U.K. capital vowed to dump Uber two years ago. Mayor Sadiq Khan cancelled the company’s license in September 2017, citing safety concerns and poor working conditions. But then it reinstated Uber’s right to operate the following year, without ever having actually ordered its vehicles off the street.
