Uber has secured a 30-month license to continue operating in London, ending a protracted battle with city regulators over whether the ride-hailing app was “fit and proper.”
“Uber has been granted a London private hire vehicle operator’s license for a period of two and a half years,” a Transport for London spokesperson said in a statement Saturday.
The move ends a years-long spat with the agency, which twice revoked Uber’s London license — once in 2017, and a second time in 2019. Authorities were concerned about the company’s ability to keep passengers safe. Uber subsequently won an 18-month London permit in court.
