[Brighton] UBER Licence Revoked in Brighton and Hove

Well good news imho, Uber have successfully challenged TFL and have one the right to 15 months licence in London proving they are fit and proper!
Brighton next.
Brighton next.
But Uber agreed that when they applied last year they were not fit and proper.
The licensed was issued for a short period with a number of new licensing conditions that no one else has to adhere too, as Uber are still (my words) a basket case.
Uber also admitted in court that they had been operating illegally, and over two million bookings were untaken outside of the law. They also admitted that a previous manager had misled the High Court.
And they also had to pay TfL’s £425,000 legal bill.

He has a point though.
I liked Brighton Taxes long b4 Uber was around, Uber comes along and I like Uber better now! So do all their customers! It’s Brighton Taxes that don’t want the competition!
Only if your heart is set on Uber failing, and the incredibly expensive taxi tariffs set by BHCC winning the day.
It all boils down on NSC to the age old dichotemy:
1. Left wing minded want the BHCC licensed cabs to maintain their monopoly. No change.
2. Others who favour competition and lower fares.

As someone who is left wing minded, your first point is bollocks

Well, I say it with knowledge, without revealing who exactly. Happen to know key trade union leaders in B&H, who have fought any threat to the might of hackneys in the city for 25 years (long before Uber), and strongly lobby the council for higher tariffs.
Doesn’t surprise me that Cartels are alive and well in the Unions, it’s what they fight for!
3. Right wing minded who don’t mind a wage and employment rights race-to-the-bottom as long as it’s not their profession being shafted.
UBER Licence Revoked in B&H
I’m more than certain you share the same concerns for Estate Agents and the rise in popularity for cheaper online alternatives?
Oh and my Uber driver on a Thursday told me Uber are introducing 3 weeks paid holiday, incidentally he is a BHCC licensed driver who prefers to work for Uber, go figure that!

I don’t like races to the bottom in any sector so if this is the case then yes.

Surely if existing BHCC private hire drivers are jumping ship to Uber for what my bloke on Thursday said are better more efficient working conditions this cannot be a bad thing, says more about the cartels running the main company in Brighton right?

Summed up perfectly.
Restrictive practices and closed shops can go too far, costing customers.
Change was driven by this particular local cartel.
I have no idea why your bloke moved. But all I want is a level playing field which has not been the case to date. Even Uber themselves have admitted, in court this week, they have cut corners and in some cases broken the terms of their license if not the law. And I still feel the T&Cs of their employees still leave something to desire even though these have improved marginally due to another court case they lost.
If I set up an Estate Agents next to you and run rough-shod over numerous local and national law to cut corners to force you out of business I’m sure you’d be annoyed? This is, in effect what they have done, as two huge court cases they have lost demonstrate. Put simply this isn’t fair.
You’ll now have to excuse me as it’s Sunday which means The Bird Burger Joint...and due to the extra time in the World Cup I now need to book a taxi

It appears that cab owners can allow other drivers to use their cab, can agree that these jockeys local knowledge is
not very good
