Uber banned in London

How do we know Uber doesn't do background checks?

I have no doubt Uber does background checks where the law requires. In Quebec, the anti-Uber lobby is wanting to require Uber to do background checks through the police instead of through private firms, even though a criminal record is the same criminal record, no matter who pulls it.

No they dont do the checks.
Here is the list of issues.

Its approach to reporting serious criminal offences.

Its approach to how medical certificates are obtained.

Its approach to how Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are obtained.

Its approach to explaining the use of Greyball in London - software that could be used to block regulatory bodies from gaining full access to the app and prevent officials from undertaking regulatory or law enforcement duties.


Uber will cut any corner to make more money. They are a rogue operator.

Agree! Uber is taking the concept of disruption and applying it to governments. corporations don't and should never make the rules. we vote people into government that do that not companies looking to take our money.
 
Because those taxi drivers are so much safer.

LMFAO.

Yet another example of big government corruption and you support it.
Evidently, yes the taxis are safer.

According to who?
According to the government...no doubt, and they tend to lie a lot, but dupes can't see it.

It looks like they purposely are hiding crimes committed by taxis/black cars, to cover up their crime.
You need to back these claims up with some facts.
Why do you feel that Uber should be exempt from the rules that all the other firms are obliged to observe ?
Why do you think the City of London is covering up bad actions by taxi and black car drivers?

i'd like to see you back that up your claim that TfL are covering for Taxis. Facts speak for themselves.

No, they shouldn't, but in the US it seems to be the norm for larger companies.

its unfortunate that companies like Uber would rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission and that's exactly what Uber have done. its sickening to think that such a company treats authority and the public with such contempt. i hope that TfL makes it as hard as possible for Uber to worm its way back into the London market. with any luck more country's will do the same to this company and make it comply or ban it outright.

Apologizing is treating authority and the public with contempt? I apologize, Onaquest, that I have to disagree with you.

From your article, "Why was Uber stripped of its license? ... Working conditions and regulatory concerns." If Uber were actually doing something to justify having their licence revoked, we'd get a concrete explanation, instead of this always vague bullsh1t.

I agree that Uber isn't really sorry. But, it's not that they're acting with contempt. They're groveling to a socialist pig bureaucracy. It's like if you run a drug store and you sell cotton balls. And, one day those cotton balls trigger some libtard black and she starts screaming about racism... You just apologize and say no offense meant, that you'll start sensitivity training for your employees, that you'll donate a bunch of money to black organizations, that you'll hire more blacks, and that you'll replace the cotton balls with some non-racist alternative. Or, if you run the NFL and one day...

Uber is apologising to save it skin nothing more. It has played the rules and the people of London for suckers and continues to. Uber is no different than other point to point transport providers in London. If the other drivers and companies that work Taxis and transport services have to adhere to the same rules set down by Transport for London then why shouldn't Uber?

The sad part about Uber and their legion of fanboy's is the complete disregard for the welfare of their passengers. TfL wouldn't/shouldn't have even intervened if Uber were proactive and a responsible transport provider. Instead... we have a paid media circus crying "not fair' and asking for special dispensation so 30 odd women a year can continue to be raped and hundreds if not thousands subjected to god knows what else just so they can continue to undercut other providers and build market share with a no safety unaccountable service, all in the name of technology. sounds like a sleazy company to me. maybe Uber should grovel and ask forgiveness to the hundreds of women that have been attacked by their partners, first. don't you think?
