London regulators refused to renew Uber’s license to operate in November last year, after finding widespread instances of unauthorized drivers using the ride-hailing app to pick up customers. Uber said at the time it had fixed the problem, but London officials said they wanted to make sure there weren’t other software issues. On Monday, a London judge found Uber was now “fit and proper” to hold a license, according to a spokesman for Transport for London, the city’s main transportation regulator. In 2017, TfL rejected Uber’s application for a long-term license because of issues including safety and its corporate culture and governance. The regulator then gave Uber a two-month license, which expired last November.
