RIDESHARING giant Uber is appealing a decision by Transport for London, which has ruled that the company is “not fit and proper” to operate in the British capital after a series of security failures.
The authority said it would not renew Uber’s licence to operate after finding evidence that unauthorised drivers were faking their identity by uploading new photos into the Uber platform.
At least 14,000 trips, involving 43 drivers, were undertaken by drivers with fake identities, including some who were unlicensed and one who had been cautioned for child pornography.
Uber said it is implementing technical fixes including facial recognition to address the problems, and would continue to trade in London while it undertakes the appeal process.
