On Monday, the city of London granted Uber yet another temporary license to operate in the city. For the past three years, the ride-hail company has relied on a series of temporary licenses, extensions, and appeals to keep operating in its largest European market.

"This 18-month license with a number of conditions allows us to closely monitor Uber's adherence to the regulations and to swiftly take action if they fail to meet the required standards," Transport for London (TfL), the city’s transport authority, said in a statement. The temporary license would also be subject to 21 conditions, which the statement did not disclose, up from the 14 Uber’s previous temporary license was subject to.
