  1.  At the end of the day, government institution or not, they are a business, and as a business their main priority is profit. What this could mean (and the likely outcome I am afraid) is the return of Uber, a business modelled on undervaluing its services to remove competition, illegally using its technology to avoid financial penalty[4], and failing to report criminal activity, remaining on the streets of London, but now with the added benefit of the government itself helping to remove its competition.

    TFL are purposefully trying to remove large swaths of private hire cars from the city, or the more likely reason, using their position of power to extort vast sums of money from the industry.

  2. Just browse the forum mate, you will find different perceptions about uber.

    If youre looking just for extra cash, is a good idea.

    Dont rush and get an expensive car to be stuck with the finance, i will advise lease.

    You should be able to get £10/hour minim after uber commission , but bare in mind you still need to pay for the car . insurance. fuel ..... from those £10

    What are your expectations ?

  3. I remember use to make easy £200 Sunday day time, now i struggle to make £120 and i read they want to double the drivers by next year.

    Has anyone consider a different option than working for Uber???

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Is it just me?

     

  4. Never buy BMW 520d, N47 engine timing chain problem!!!

     

    I heard loads of guys complaining about it and once i saw it with my own eyes, minim £2000 bill to repair it.

    THey are not what they use to be, old good reliable BMW is dead!!
