Check Out Uber’s Odds in the UK and Worldwide

Even taxi drivers would agree that Uber had a pretty rough weekend.

Paddy Power, the premier destination for outlandish bets, is ready for all players to put their two pennies worth. Before showing you all the exciting options, let’s check the facts, as of now, together:

What is happening to Uber in the UK?

On September 23rd, news broke that Transport for London (TfL), the official body that oversees the capital’s transportation, has rejected Uber’s application for a license renewal because the company is not fit and proper. “TfL considers that Uber’s approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications.” Those issues include

• neglect of sexual assault allegations
• handling of drivers’ medical and background check
• using a Software named Greyball to avoid regulators

Uber is sorry

“On behalf of everyone at Uber globally, I apologise for the mistakes we’ve made,” wrote in an open letter Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. Though the company admits that they’ve “got things wrong along the way,” they will appeal against TfL’s decisions, which they are welcome to do within 21 days. The 3,5 million of Londoners who depend on the app can continue using it while a decision on the appeal is made. The Telegraph reported that Thomas de la Mare will lead the company’s appeal against TfL’s decision. Mare and Uber worked together successfully against in a few TfL cases before.

Representative of the United Private Hire Drivers, James Farrar, said that the company will be able to remedy TfL’s decision as all drivers are licensed and background-checked by the body itself before they start operating. “Uber does not get a say on who gets licensed in the capital. Without the TfL licence, they can’t come and drive on the Uber app.” A Mayoral Aide told Financial Times that Uber can win the case if they start playing by the rules.

Uber has been banned in many countries and states already. The list includes Bulgaria, Denmark, Italy, Hungary, Alaska, China, and Taiwan. In most countries, the downfall of Uber was closely connected to taxi drivers, more specifically the laws that other taxi service companies must adhere to.

Now it’s time for you to make a guess about the company’s future, both in the UK and Worldwide. Here are Uber’s odds:
