While many Tweeters were furious that TfL was threatening what they saw as a cheap, convenient mode of transport, others flagged up the wide-reaching criticism that the brand has faced over the years.
TFL claiming #uber is unsafe is all very well. But it's a lot safer than the Night Bus I'll have to take home now.

students taking cabs. How times change! There's a bigger picture to Uber and most can't see it. Saturate then inflate.

A lot wrong with Uber but they have radically improved my SE London transport options https://t.co/0iOxYixcLY

great living somewhere Uber doesn't exist, so every night out ends in a cab with Yer Da rambling on about his favourite porn genre

Uber has never shown any interest in going out of their way to meet any standards of compliance though

In London, Women are gonna have to pay a premium to feel safe getting home now. Uber was affordable and easy.

— Schnitzel (((Cat))) (@mndl_nyc) September 22, 2017Don't despair. The world is big - plenty of places for Uber to lose investors' money AND destroy local infrastructure
With London's house prices also falling faster than anywhere else in the UK, could this development lead to a deluge of relocators?
You all mock Birmingham but guess who still has uber

Not necessarily... as a few keen observers noted, the story isn't over yet.
Bet this is more of a shot across the bow. "Change your ways, adhere to the law, don't circumvent regulators or else." 21 days too appeal.

You guys are acting like it's gone now or something uber can appeal and there is a chance of not losing
