▍原文

Uber will not be granted a new licence to operate in London, Transport for London (TfL) has said.

The regulator said the taxi app was not "fit and proper" as a licence holder, despite having made a number of positive changes to its operations.

Uber originally lost its licence in 2017 due to safety concerns, but was granted a 15-month extension.

Uber now has 21 days to appeal against TfL's decision and can continue to operate during that period.
