Surprised there is no thread on this yet.
Yesterday TfL (Transport for London) decided not to grant a license to Uber to operate in London. Good news as far as I am concerned.
Ultimately this is a question of large companies taking power away from workers and giving to customers so they can grow and make their shareholders money. The workers lose out, and in most cases these are men. It is the same in other industries.
I would bet that it is mostly women who support Uber as it gives them 'convenience' and we know that is mostly men fighting them as these are most of the black cab and minicab workers.
Uber still has time to appeal and so far a petition in support of Uber has got 500K signatures. It is sad so many do not see the problems and the general undesirability of having a company like Uber operating in your city.
