ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Minute

Available for over a year

It's an extremely popular way of getting around London, especially among the under 40s. But authorities there have now said they're not going to renew Uber's operating license, citing safety concerns. It's a decision hailed by the city's black cab drivers, but others point out the app has 40,000 drivers there who could now be out of work.
