Uber taxi app legal in London, UK high court rules

Taxi firm Uber has been given the green light to operate in London after the High Court ruled its app is legal in the capital.

The California-based tech firm has come under fire from traditional black-cab drivers in London, who claim the Uber app is being used a taximeter. Under UK law, only black-cab drivers are able to use taximeters.

The city’s transport regulatory, Transport for London (TfL), brought the case to court after coming under pressure from black-cab and minicab drivers.
