we need to stick together on this, TFL is asking if they should charge us for CC, imagine 26,000 black drivers responding yes to this survey!

Well done but as predicted by some, plans were made way behind.

TFL will not say no to it, they lose 80,000 x £12/day x 365 days THAT'S £1,000,000 per day for them!!!!!

IF I have a low acceptance rate i can see a pattern and the rating is going down as well, maybe I am wrong

Any similarities?

If you need some older version of the app, just UN-install the current one and download any older version

How annoying is this? Free road but you have a cyclist who decided to have the road for him while there a dedicated cycle lane on the side???

What should we do? I told him and he showed me the finger, fkin pricks...I propose these guys to get a PCN because they dont obey the rules

Be careful because some of them just looking for trouble, a reason to complain at TFL, dont risk having your license suspended.

Best is to take a picture and post it on twitter, tag TFL. BEat them with their own weapons

If you have a diesel and want to change your car for Hybrid, wait don't do it yet.....Uber will give you £5,000 for that soon

Hi UK-based drivers,

 

We're looking to learn more about your experiences working in the gig economy and what is important to you. Please help us to do this survey if you're keen to share your views on decent work in the gig economy!

 

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Uber_Decent_Work

 

Thank you so much for your time and input!

before asking for information you should introduce yourself!

I had a customer which was very rude to me and I asked him nicely to get off my car because of his attitude which I am not willing to accept.

Guess what?

He said to Uber in my car was smelling like marijuana, I was driving careless, speeding.....so on.

Uber got me de-activated and had to wait to wait for them to listen to my side of the story while me not being able to make money to provide for my family!!!

Uber Client always first and then the driver....

Be careful with strange customers, they can always make a serious allegation against you and by the time Uber will realise its all lies, you will lose days of work-we have no protection in this situations!

Fully recommended

You can pay just first instalment of around £200 and then pay just monthly for the next 9 months and no headache while you are covered fully com and is available everywhere in Europe not just UK like many others

If you are in your 40 years you might still have a chance and you dont need to change the job

IF your in your 50 years, you can relax and not worried- by the time technology will threat your job, you will wait for pension

If you are below 40- dude start thinking by now what you're going to do when you will be 50 years old as your job will be taken by the machines!

This is unbelievable, what a master plan from Uber.

All this licence show was actually a distraction fromt he main point, which is the driverless legal ground .

Now they have it, UBer can bring it on UK roads without a problem.

In 6-7 years almost everything  will be gone, they will snap 50% of the market in the first year, special the UBerX market.

Mr Hammond is due to announce regulation changes in Wednesday's Budget which will allow developers to apply to test driverless vehicles on UK roads.

Asked about the potential loss of jobs for drivers, he said the country could not "hide from change" and the government had to equip people with the skills "to take up new careers".

10 more years before this job will start to be disrupted and 20 years until full automation and no jobs in this industry.

I dropped someone at T2 and then I was on my way towards London on Bath road, guess what, job coming from Marriot going to Oxford!!

I was like, what? how come?

Anyone?

Bravo, yes this is the real deal. well done, why wait when you can pick

They think is something worth doing it, not having confidence to do it properly. Disable the gps to trick the system, for what? U might get a £15 job

I wonder what will be the outcome for today's hearing. I think will take at least 5 months until any decision will be reached. Uber still on-boarding loads of drivers, just like nothing is happening Customers already forgot about the issue, the process is doing his magic

How is it possible to be in the middle of the surge area and no jobs or jobs with no surge

Or you get a job on surge and by the time you get there is cancelled because the surge is gone, time waisted and frustration generated

PHV licence from £100 to £140 multipled with 90k cars = £3.6 millions more extra money just from cars every year which in total is £13 millions, use to be around £9 mil

Excel, Addison Lee, 247, Swift, One transport vendor,

130 miles range for full electric, better get the hybrid no?

electric full charge  130 miles will cost you around £6

hybrid for 130 miles you will pay maybe £10

A good diesel 130 miles will cost you £20

SO fyk yeah Electric man

I am doing around 400 miles a week, with a diesel at the moment. i am spending around £80/week or £400/month

for electric 400 miles will cost me £20/week or £80/month ......WOW £300 savings!!!!!! car finance will be free

woahahaha, i cant make enough to support my family

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said in a statement: "I fully support TfL's decision - it would be wrong if TfL continued to license Uber if there is any way that this could pose a threat to Londoners' safety and security."

General secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association Steve McNamara said: "The mayor has made the right call not to re-license Uber.

"We expect Uber will again embark on a spurious legal challenge against the mayor and TfL, and we will urge the court to uphold this decision.

"This immoral company has no place on London's streets."

Uber has 21 days to appeal.

The current licence expires on 30 September but Uber has 21 days to appeal and can continue to operate until that process expires.

Taxify stops operating in London following TfL investigation

After just 2 days

In a separate statement, TfL has said it asked Taxify to stop its services. "Taxify is not a licensed private hire operator and is not licensed to accept private hire bookings in London," a spokesperson said. "TfL has instructed Taxify to stop accepting bookings and it has done so". This was supported by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who said it was "right" TfL told Taxify to stop its work in London.
