I have every sympathy with Uber drivers and customers affected by this decision but their anger really should be directed at Uber. They have let down their drivers and customers by failing, in the view of TfL, to act as a fit and proper operator.

I’m not pro or anti Uber, it does seem though that they’re being held to a higher standard than the rest of the trade. Uber should undoubtedly report claims of sexual assault made against their drivers. I’d also like to see up-to-date stats on sexual assaults from all types of private hire providers per 1,000 fares.
On those other points, is it only Uber drivers who pay doctors for a health cert and what commission are TFL earning from their “preferred” DBS check supplier?
