Uber CEO apologizes for “mistakes” after London license blow

Uber’s new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has written an open letter apologizing for “mistakes we’ve made” following the announcement on Friday by London’s transport regulator that it was withdrawing licensing from Uber — having deemed it is not “fit and proper” to operate.
In the letter Khosrowshahi thanks Uber users for “support over the last few days” — likely an indirect reference to the Uber-initiated online petition calling for a reversal of TfL’s decision which has now racked up more than 750,000 votes (though it’s unclear how many of those are from actual users of Uber in London) — and goes on to concede the company has “got things wrong” before saying sorry.
