Hasta la vista, Ola: TfL bans ridesharing startup, claiming unlicensed drivers picked up passengers (TheRegister.co.uk)

Transport for London (TfL) has refused to renew the licence of the Indian ridesharing startup Ola, after the discovery of what it described as "potential public safety consequences".  The authority identified several issues in Ola’s operations, including what TfL claimed was the use of unlicensed drivers and cars in over 1,000 passenger trips.

How's it go?  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me...

So a second ridesharing app has been caught allegedly using unlicensed drivers to ferry passengers around    Sounds like you'd be risking your life getting into a rideshare car in London!

I'm shocked that it's an Indian company. I thought those guys had more integrity than that.
