London’s transport regulator has stripped Uber of its London operating licence. This will affect more than 40 000 drivers and will be a massive blow to the ride-hailing app.

“TfL considers that Uber’s approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications,” Transport for London said on Friday.

The final day of Uber’s license will be on Sep. 30.

In London, the firm has faced criticism from unions, lawmakers and traditional black cab drivers over working conditions.

The company has 21 days to appeal the decision.
