When a traffic regulator in London refuses to issue a new license to Uber’s rival Ola

Ola will lose the right to train in London. After nearly eight months of service in the British capital, the Indian taxi platform has refused to renew its license. The Transport for London (DFL), which is responsible for transportation in London, cited the public safety ban as the reason.

If the DFL is to be believed, Ola is said to have worked with unlicensed drivers since its launch in London in February. The drivers in question made more than 1,000 trips, endangering the safety of passengers. The carpooling company openly declared these violations. However, she did not do so in a timely manner. Ola should have informed the traffic regulator in London as soon as the defects were discovered.
