TfL have now finally published its reasoning for the Oct 2020 decision, to refuse to renew Ola's operating licence.

We were informed in October last year that London's public transport authority (TfL) claimed Indian ride-hailing company Ola was not “fit and proper” to hold a licence...having put passenger safety at risk by using unlicensed drivers. 


They refused to grant an operators licence to the instant hail app, just days after Uber received a green light from their appeal. 


There has been allegations within the Taxi trade, that this was intended to offer less competition for TfL’s struggling golden stake holder. 


TfL’s given reasons are posted below. It’s quite lengthy but makes interesting reading.
