A number of operators already do eg Addison Lee. I myself use 3 black cab e-hailing apps and do roughly 60% of my business on them.
great so I now need at least 4 apps to pay at least twice as much to get where I want half as fast.
Progress!!!

Until they start charging fares that allow them to turn a profit I'd ban them. They are artificially creating a monopoly by putting other companies out of business.

But both google and Microsoft do at least turn a profit Uber's use of venture capital to put local firms out of business is shocking!
Seems like uber has been flaunting the rules long enough and TFL has finally said, no no, you need to comply and we can and will pull the plug if you don't abide.
I fully expect a resolution, there's no way either side will let this not get sorted. I don't think TFL at all wants uber stopped, this is just an ultimatum to sort all their practices out.
If it doesn't get resolved, that's 40,000 drivers out of work and an overloaded public transport system. Not good for anyone at all.
Taxi!I got fired from my job as a Uber driver. Turns out my customers didn't like it when I tried to go the extra mile.
Engadget said:New company chief Dara Khosrowshahi has sent out an email to his employees about London, and it shows that the company might truly be under a different kind of leadership now. One that doesn't sound like it'll encourage "hustlin'" and overlook bad behavior, such as obtaining rape victims' medical records through questionable means. Khosrowshahi told his employees and drivers in the internal email that while it's easy to think London's decision not to renew Uber's taxi license is unfair, "the truth is that there is a high cost to bad reputation."
He admitted that it really matters what people think of the company. So, going forward, he said it's critical "to act with integrity in everything" the company does and to learn how to be better partner to every city where it's active. By doing so, he hopes to show that Uber isn't just a "really great product, but a really great company that is meaningfully contributing to society."

Yes only for them to say the ban still stands, or that it's a matter for London and not central government.
A petition doesn't put them above the law.
Actually TfL are the law in this area it is upto them who does and who doesn't get a license!But they can debate whether TfL is wrong. TfL aren't the law.
