RIDE-HAILING SHAKE-UP FOR LONDON

uber will continue to operate in London while it appeals Transport for London's decision not to grant it a new licence in the capital due to repeated safety failures.

The appeal process could take several months but rival services are already lining up to take advantage in London.

If Uber fails in its appeal it's likely that many of its drivers would move across to rival services such as Bolt, Kapten,

Free Now and Ola, with the latter reportedly in the process of signing up more drivers ahead of a London launch.
