After years of offering rides in London, Uber is being told to exit the British metropolis after the city’s transport regulator denied Uber’s license renewal over concerns about public safety and the company’s use of sneaky software to avoid detection by the authorities.

As of Sept. 30, Uber will no longer have the authority to operate in London, following a Transport for London (TfL) determination that Uber London Limited is “not fit and proper” to hold a private hire operator license.
