Uber on Friday filed its appeal against a decision by London authorities not to renew its licence, the US ride-hailing company said. “We have this morning filed our appeal on the London licence decision at Westminster Magistrates’ Court,” Uber said in a statement ahead of the Friday deadline. London transport authorities last month said they would not renew Uber’s licence to operate in the city owing to public safety concerns. Transport for London (TfL) claims that the conduct of Uber, which has about 40,000 drivers and 3.5m customers in the British capital, had raised concerns. Uber will be allowed to operate in the British capital while the appeal process is under way https://t.co/4QRTcikSsy — Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) October 13, 2017“While we have today filed our appeal so that Londoners can continue using our app, we hope to continue having constructive discussions with Transport for London,” Uber added on Friday.
