anonymous Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 According to TFL there are 120k drivers in London, half of that working for uber or even more. But good news , we have 29 drivers less than last week --------- Private hire driver licences - 117,834: a decrease of 29 on previous week, 141 licences are new. Since Uber came in London in 2013 from 60k drivers there are 120k now after 4 years, In London only, how do they help congestion??? 60k more drivers and you are shocked that you cant make money, don't be! 120k x £250 per licence = £30,000,0000 for TFL from badges only It has to be a cap, has to! https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing/licensing-information fullpower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeofuber Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 40% from those latest 60k drivers will not be full time or not even on the platform any-more, many of them they quit uber after they realised your actual profit is around 50% from what you make...

LUED Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yes, not all licence holders are continuing driving, and probably will just the licence lapse at renewal, after driving for a year or so. Some work part-time with other jobs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
