Nice to see the powers that be grow a pair and actually stand up to the corporate arrogance of the likes of Uber who think they should be allowed to re-write all the rules in their own favour, and just ignore any laws they don’t like
Well said, Boris’s worst move whilst Mayor.
Of course Uber’s prices are lower, they don’t pay VAT, they pay virtually no tax and their drivers work below minimum wage (when accounting for vehicle cost, insurance etc). Of course its F-ing cheaper. I have no issue with an app based taxi service but they should play by the same rules the Black Cabs do. Black cabs don’t set tye fairs, TFL do. Black cabs have to buy and maintain a soecific vehcile (inspected at random inc surprise vists to their homes) etc
