In response to the announcement that Uber will be granted a license to operate in London, Alison Moore AM, Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, said:
“Londoners’ safety must come first. The London Assembly welcomed Transport for London’s decision in 2017 not to renew Uber’s license as it was very concerned about its working practices and wanted to see its working practices and safety record improved.
“Following the ruling, TfL will need to ensure that any conditions of the license renewal are strongly enforced, and we will be keeping a close eye on the way Uber operates to ensure it does operate in the fully safe and responsible manner that Londoners deserve.”
