Today is the deadline for Uber to file its appeal against TfL stripping the taxi firm’s London license.
Since the TFL decision, Uber’s app has soared to first place within the App Store Travel category, according to data from Hitwise, indicating London passengers are still keen to use the firm’s services.
However, Uber’s competitors have also benefitted from news of its licence removal, indicating some London passengers are looking for alternatives. Hailo jumped 63 places, whilst Gett increased to 21st place (please find the table below)
