Uber banned in London

You mean taking advantage of the desperate?
Uber drivers take advantage of the desperate!? Who knew! What tremendous knowledge you guide us with!

Rideshare does.
Lot of people love to keep going back and taken advantage of then! :spinner:

I'll go slow for you. The issue I was addressing was rideshare contractors.
Start your own thread then, this is about uber.

UBER IS A RIDE SHARE COMPANY!!!!! DOLT!!!!

It will all be moot, once they impose the driverless car.

Not in any of our lifetimes. Remember, planes can takeoff and land by themselves, but it takes the skill of a man to land on the Hudson. Computers are far from perfect to remove man from the equation.

I don't agree. The government will likely force us into driverless cars....probably within the next 10 years.

Enough people DIDN'T want to be taken advantage of, that London banned Uber completely. So I guess you are wrong.
Why would the government need to ban something no one was using? Have they banned photon death ray handguns?
No one said they weren't using the service. They were using the service and getting attacked. The service was not safe. Could not be made safe and now it is no more, at least in London.
Uber works fine in America. What's different?

Oh yeah, half of London are Islamofacists.

That's the complaint. It's the migrants with a sex attack on an average of every 11 days.
 
Guaranteed this was all done through the influence of the taxi union. It's not about safety. It's about a leftist mayor placating his union base

Driverless cars don't exist and won't in ten years. I own two Teslas with drive assist, they are good but far from perfect or as good as a human.

BULLSHIT!!!!! It's about rideshare working under the same laws a taxi cabs.

All of rideshare business platform's are based in illegalities, then paying off politicians.

The complaint as written where?
 
Wow, the chimps are all out tonight.

I am far from being a defender of the London cabbie.

But they do have to be registered and pass certain checks before they are licensed.

Its a basic thing that is done.

So we can weed out the paedos,murderers and rapists.

I think even you nutters can agree that is a GOOD THING.

Uber are not fulfilling their duties in this respect. Neither are they being honest in reporting accidents.

Now, take a deep breath you thick fuckers, please explain how this decision is anything other than a correct decision that will protect the public.

When my kids are catching rides home I like to think that the driver is not a convicted pervert. Im sort of funny that way.
it isn't just about black cabs, but taxi firms too.
 
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. That's why uber is banned and not taxis.


Safer and easier to tax then uber drivers maybe
In London most taxi drivers are of Pakistani origin. Uber - not so much.
Then who are the migrants doing the assaulting?

Rideshare is exploitation of it's contractors.
It may be, but that has nothing to do with why the government banned Uber. It is about the money. Always is.

And besides, no one is forced to work for Uber. Force is always what government does.

The government is planning to exclude UBER from London because of the lack of accountability that current cab companies have to follow.

If you don't make a living wage you need a second job. (forced)

Rideshare is a predator to both their contractors as well as the public. Their operations are based on illegalities.
The level of fucking stewpud to think that...
 
Ive used Uber twice.

Once whilst in Europe,my son booked one for the trip from the airport into town. I thought that it was a fair price.

The second time was in Liverpool.My daughter booked it to take me and her Mam back to Lime St Station.It was a 3 mile run but we were only charged £4. (I think). It took 45 minutes because of the traffic. After Uber had taken their cut the driver was working for half the living wage. I dont want to be a party to that.

It seems to be a parasitic company that will undercut legit businesses until it has control of the market. Then it will squeeze you.

My guess is that they will have to make changes if they want to carry on.Whether their business model allows that is another matter.

These are the issues and they are not trivial.

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.


These seem to be mainly Police issues and the police have a big say in the granting of licenses in the UK.

The company has also fallen foul of other jurisdictions and has recently been banned in Denmark.

If a business cannot operate without flouting legal requirements then it isnt a business. Vetting drivers,paying a minimum wage,co-operating with the police when its employees rape customers. These arent "nice to haves".
