LONDON--Uber Technologies Inc. won an appeal over the revocation
of its operating license here, ending for now a years-long tussle
between the ride-hailing company and regulators in one of its
biggest global markets.
London regulators refused to renew Uber's license to operate in
November after finding widespread instances of unauthorized drivers
using the ride-hailing app to pick up customers. Uber said at the
time that it had fixed the problem, but London officials said they
wanted to make sure there weren't other software issues. Uber
appealed the decision, and was allowed to keep its drivers on
London streets amid the appeal process.
On Monday, a London judge found Uber is now "fit and proper" to
hold a license, according to a spokesman for Transport for London,
the city's main transportation regulator. It didn't disclose how
long Uber's new license would extend.
