Uber secures right to continue operating in London

Uber has won its appeal against Transport for London’s (TfL) decision not to renew its licence to operate in the UK capital.

A court has ruled that the ride-hailing giant is “fit and proper” to hold a licence, despite previous failings on safety standards.

The decision ends three years of uncertainty for the Silicon Valley firm and the 45,000 drivers who use the app in the capital.
