Starting next year, you may be able to hail one of London's famous black cabs on the Uber app, the ride-hailing company announced.
In 2019, the group hailed London transport authorities' decision not to renew Uber's license to operate in the city after thousands of trips were made with drivers who were different than the ones who were booked. Transport for London cited "several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk." The company succeeded in an appeal in 2020 and received a 30-month license to operate in London last year.
Steve McNamara, the LTDA's general secretary, said that "there is no demand for this partnership" from drivers or passengers, who can hail black cabs on other apps like Gett, TaxiApp, FREENOW and ComCab. He added that taxi trade groups were not consulted before what he called a "partnership" was announced.
