I was somewhat perturbed to read in the Evening Standard on 28 September 2017 that during a four-week trial before Christmas last year, TfL followed the mobile phones of some 5.6 million passengers, to allegedly identify what passengers were doing at various points in their journey, such as entering or exiting a station, or changing lines. I understand that TfL is currently considering a full-scale roll-out of data collection from passenger's mobile phones.

Until recently Taxi drivers who incurred delays to their DBS application were denied a temporary licence to continue to work by LTPH. TfL/LTPH said this was necessary for public safety. Many drivers were out of work for a lengthy period and suffered serious financial hardship. Why is it then that 13,000 PH drivers have been given 28 days to make their application and allowed to continue to work? Do you agree this puts public safety in jeopardy?

What are the reasons why LTPH have suddenly ordered 13k PH drivers, mainly working for UBER, that their DBS done by a third-party provider Onfido is no longer valid? Have LTPH identified lapses and negligence in the checking process provided by this company? Have TfL been made aware of criminality carried out by drivers who have been licensed via Onfido?

On 28th July, I asked the Transport Commissioner Mike Brown and the Deputy Mayor for Transport Valerie Shawcross in the Plenary Session of the London Assembly how many private hire drivers and vehicles have Uber as their operator; they both said there would be no problem in giving me this information if I asked in general terms, but I am still waiting for an answer nearly three months later. How many private hire drivers and vehicles are licenced to each private hire operator with over 1,000 drivers and/or vehicles on their books?

Heavy encryption is used in the operation and execution of the Uber app. Nobody seems to be exactly sure how it works, including its regulator, Transport for London. An ombudsman is needed to ensure that Transport for London exercises due diligence and only licenses Private Hire companies whose practices and operations are transparent and fully understood by its regulator.

Black Cab drivers and all the organisations and businesses associated with the trade, numbering 35,000 people, have been requesting a complete separation of Black Cabs from Private Hire, two separate departments at TFL, for some time now. Who does the trade go and see to discuss this? Who is the mediator? Who holds TFL to account?
