Why Uber isn't the poster child for capitalism you wanted

The London Reconnections blog has an article on TFL withdrawing Uber's license at www.londonreconnections.com/2017/understanding-uber-not-app/.

If its TL;DR: One apparently key piece of evidence TfL used in assessing whether to renew Uber's license was a letter from the Police, where the Police state that Uber are not as forthcoming as they should be about allegations against their drivers.

One interesting fact from the article: In New York, your Uber fair only covers 41% of the cost of making the journey. So Uber are bankrolling journeys to quite a hefty degree.
