Uber banned in London

It's interesting because Uber has threatened to pull out of Quebec, and the reasons they've threatened to pull out are that it would have to comply with regulations akin to taxi drivers.

Uber Says It Will Leave Quebec Rather Than Face New Rules

On the one hand they're grovelling to London saying how they'll accept more regulation, on the other they're threatening Quebec with a pullout for the same regulations they want in London. Quebec should tell them to get stuffed.

You must be a faggot with a bondage fetish. Quibec's rules are designed to stifle new competition against existing taxi companies, a less blatant form of New York's taxi medallions. Do, you think it takes 35 hours to learn how to drive a car you already know how to drive, or whatever it is that's suppose to fill those 35 hours. Maybe for you, as you appear to be very ignorant. That 35 hours and all the other oppressive regulation....

Quebec is the only Canadian provence that requires training. Isn't it amazing how Uber drivers manage to do their part-time ride-sharing in the rest of Canada, without training?
 
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 ?

Show me the evidence that Ubers are less safe than Cabs. This is about one thing and one thing only, the millions of Pounds collected by the city of London in Taxi licensing fees, anyone who believes differently is deluding themselves.

TFL have the evidence and have acted on it. They would not take this decision lightly due to the high level of scrutiny.

These restrictions are standard to all drivers and Uber have been flouing them.

Convictions
If you have any of the following convictions, it's unlikely that your application will be successful. Before submitting an application, please consider:
  • Any conviction for a major violent offence (murder, manslaughter etc)
  • Whether you have more than one conviction of any type of violent offence in the last 10 years
  • If you are still serving a custodial sentence, even if you have been released early on licence or the sentence was suspended
  • If you have been convicted, cautioned or subjected to any other penalty for a serious sexual offence (rape, indecent assault, trafficking, possession of indecent images etc)
  • Whether you have been convicted, cautioned or subjected to any other penalty for more than one sexual offence of any type, irrespective of age
  • Whether you are listed on either the Children's or Adults' barred list
  • If you have been convicted, cautioned or subjected to any other penalty for touting in the last 12 months or have more than one penalty for touting in the last five years
Please be advised that this is not an exhaustive list, licensing decisions are made on a case by case basis.

Its not a huge hurdle for them to climb is it ?

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

I have an IQ of like 500, and I still can't figure out where what you posted says Uber is violating a law requiring background check. "Its approach..." is vague and meaningless.
 
You UK neo-Commiunists, yes you, Tainted One, are about to make Corbyn PM and nationalize everything so you can go out on strike 24/7/365 and collect free money in compensation for the lost work. Until, of course, other people's money runs out.
