Uber (8)

  • Reference: 2017/4389
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Do you agree there should be a Police investigation into Uber to see if they used Greyball in London, and if they deceived law enforcement and government authorities and competitors. Will you call for criminal prosecutions of any individuals found to be involved?

Uber (7)

  • Reference: 2017/4388
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
It is alleged by LCDC that Uber were licensed by TfL in breach of the PH regulations back in 2012. Will you investigate this matter?

Uber (6)

  • Reference: 2017/4387
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Why didn't TfL revoke Uber's licence before 30th Sept, given that the Private Hire Act clearly states this can be done on public safety grounds?

Uber (5)

  • Reference: 2017/4386
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Are you concerned that a serious sexual assault or worse occurs during this period of Uber's appeals process, given that sexual assaults by Uber drivers reportedly increased by 50% from the previous year.

Uber (4)

  • Reference: 2017/4385
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
TfL cited in their refusal to re-licence Uber, that they were not "fit and proper" and a "lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues on public safety and security". Why are they still allowed to operate during the appeal process which could take months, or more than a year to conclude?

Uber (3)

  • Reference: 2017/4384
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
Do you agree with the LCDC, that Uber are in breach of private hire regulations and should never have been issued a licence back in 2012, as on 27th September 2017 at the Employment Tribunal Appeal in the High Court, Uber admitted the nearest driver accepts the booking, without knowing the destination and it is not allocated by the Operator (i.e. Uber London Ltd).

Uber (2)

  • Reference: 2017/4383
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
What is the number of complaints made against Uber that were reported to TfL since they were licenced in 2012?

Uber (1)

  • Reference: 2017/4382
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
LCDC have levelled some serious allegations at TfL, alleging that there was an arrangement with Uber to streamline PH licences, and that "malfeasance" by a public body took place, with licences sold for mass profit, deliberately flooding the market, without considering the impact on driver's incomes, congestion and pollution. Have you investigated these allegations?

Traffic Lights at Marble Arch

  • Reference: 2017/4381
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
In Question 2017/3471, I asked why 'the phasing of the traffic lights both before and behind Marble Arch are set on such a short 'green man' phase.' Your response was: 'The signals have a 'green man' period of six seconds, followed by a safety 'blackout' period to allow pedestrians to clear the crossing.' I note that your reply carefully omits to explain what the 'safety blackout' period is. Notwithstanding, both these roads (the A4202 and the A40) consist of five lanes of traffic at Marble Arch. No reasonable person would expect a pedestrian to cross a five-lane road in a...

Tube Funding

  • Reference: 2017/4380
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
I note that TfL is delaying buying new rolling stock for the Northern and Jubilee lines and wonder whether track replacement on the Underground is being slowed in order to help reduce expenditure, as part of the savings the Mayor has tasked TfL with finding. Could the Mayor confirm that this is actually the case?
