Dear Sadiq,
 
 
I am writing to urge Transport for London, and you in your role as Chair of TfL, not to re-license Uber in London following the end of its two-month licence extension. 
 
Ever since Uber was licensed in London seven years ago, it has been plagued by controversy directly caused by its persistent failure to keep Londoners safe, to pay its fair share and to protect passengers’ private data. 
 
You chose to strip Uber of its five-year licence in 2017 on grounds of blatant disregard for passenger safety and TfL regulations. This was the right decision for London, and one that should be reinforced. 
 
Uber’s behaviour during its recent probationary period demonstrates that the firm has not changed for the better, and is still failing Londoners in many areas. 
 
In the past year alone, Uber has been fined by Westminster Magistrates Court for contravening the terms of its licence by allowing drivers to pick up passengers in London without insurance. Uber has paid out tens of thousands in out of court settlements for failing to prevent drivers from swapping log in details to carry out serious sexual assaults, and has refused to respect local demands and stop operating in areas in which its drivers are not licensed locally. 
 
Uber has also been investigated by HMRC over allegations it dodged £1 billion in unpaid tax and has been fined £385,000 by the Information Commissioner’s Office for failing to prevent the breach of 2.7 million UK users’ data. 
 
These are just a select few examples of Uber failing to operate in a fit and proper manner, and I’m sure you are aware of more. 
 
Uber may have admitted to past mistakes and promised to change, but ultimately the way the firm operates will never change. 
 
As the Mayor of London and Chair of TfL, I urge you to take into account Uber’s failures and recommend that TfL refuses to renew the firm’s licence in London after the end of its two-month licence extension. 
 
Uber may be cheap, but Londoners know the real cost. 
 
Yours sincerely,

I'm happy for the LTDA to contact meI'd rather not be contacted, thanks
