But for me it's that other countries do not have as good regulation on their drivers as London. A lot of places have cab drivers that might try and rip you off because there is a lack of standardised prices or lack of enforcement. I went to Mexico City and you're recommended to only get taxis known by the hotel and let them call it for you. They also tend to jot down the registration number when you get in. This is not uncommon outside of the US or Europe (and even then some cities are worse than others). Uber doesn't have these problems. They, the company, decide the price and know the drivers. You have a US-based company to follow up any issues you have and a map of the route they took you. |

In this case the judges concerned will be the ones whose words matter and thereafter the rules will be clearer and obviously that needs to happen. |

Even if they have no licence in London, they can get round it by using taxis licensed elsewhere.

Re: Uber licence revoked
I'd rather use a genuine London cabbie who has been CRB'd,is insured, knows how to get around London and I can flag down safely knowing I won't get ripped off. Let's hope I continue to have that choice.

Re: Uber licence revoked
I've used them a few times in Glasgow and the drivers are always super friendly and know where they are going. however a friend got ripped off once as the driver never stopped the meter and she ended up getting charged £300 as he was driving around for hours.
however the two local private hire cab companies I use most in glasgow now also have an app so you can call and track your taxi. So no real need for Uber here. |

I don't use apps to order food. I ring the venue direct or I walk there.

Some elderly folks do not have smart phones so Uber would not help them.
