Uber's London operating licence, that was due to expire on 28 March, has been renewed for 30 months.

It has been reported that Jamie Heywood, Regional General Manager for Northern and Eastern Europe, said:

“TfL rightly holds our industry to the highest regulatory and safety standards and we are pleased to have met their high bar.

“As we continue to play our part in getting London moving again post-pandemic, we remain focused on raising industry standards in all areas. This includes offering drivers the benefits and protections they deserve as workers, ensuring all Londoners can get around safely, and supporting the Mayor’s plan for a greener future in the capital with our target to become a fully electric platform in the city by 2025.”
