The number of Uber drivers in London should be capped to ensure ‘healthy competition and consumer choice’, the boss of a rival minicab app has claimed.
Kabbee chief executive Justin Peters called for a limit on the proportion of minicab drivers overseen by one company if Uber overturns a decision not to renew its operating licence.
Some 116,000 minicab drivers hold licences in London and Uber says around 40,000 use its app in the city.
An entry for the “Please use the law to hobble my competitors” competition then.
