Rejected

What the petition asks
TfL has announced that they will not be renewing Uber's private hire licence.
With TfL's decision to not renew Uber's private hire licence, around 40,000 drivers will be out of work.
Not only, Uber has provided a service that resonates with society's shift into the technological age.
Uber offers security, accountability and affordability to its users, and a decision to deny their licence will result in Black Cabs gaining a monopoly in London.
