| Subject: Rights violation: Uber set to be BANNED in York -- Third British city strips Uber of its licence Tue Dec 12, 2017 6:04 pm | |
| Uber's licence has been rejected by officials in a third major city amid concerns over the number of complaints made about the ride-hailing firm.
It comes just months after the company was stripped of its permit in the capital by Transport for London which claimed the global taxi app was not 'fit and proper'.
The app is used in towns and cities across the UK, with 3.5million passengers and 40,000 drivers in London.
But it has faced mass opposition from traditional taxi drivers and unions including in Sheffield where it was stripped of its licence just five days ago.
Council chiefs in York - where 28,000 people have used the app since October - tonight debated for more than two hours before deciding not to renew Uber's 12-month licence which is due to expire on Christmas Eve.
