☆ Black cab U-turn: Uber to partner with London cabbies after decade of dispute
  + stars: | 2023-11-29 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
In recent years, London's black cab drivers - who have to pass a test called "The Knowledge" requiring them to memorise thousands of routes within the city - blocked the streets in protests against the ride-hailing service. The new service, which will be rolled out in early 2024, follows nearly a decade of tensions between the two parties, including an unsuccessful legal challenge by black cab drivers against Uber's London operating licence in 2019. Under the new arrangement black cab drivers will be offered jobs with a pre-determined price range through Uber, which they can accept or reject. Uber will not charge black cab drivers a commission for the first six months of the deal. Hameed Hameedi, the first London cab driver to sign up with Uber, said: "Nowadays more passengers than ever are using apps so Uber opening up to Black Cabs will be a huge advantage to the trade."

CNN —Once bitter rivals fighting for control of London’s streets, Uber and the British capital’s iconic black cab taxis are now teaming up. Uber on Tuesday announced a new partnership with London’s black cab taxis that will let cab drivers opt in to gain access to Uber trip referrals. Uber said the first London cab drivers have already signed up, and service will roll out early next year. Many Londoners, meanwhile, take unique pride in the city’s black cab taxi service. When Uber drivers arrived on the scene, however, drivers for the app could simply rely on the app’s navigation systems.

The San Francisco-based company, which already offers train and coach ticket bookings in the UK, has begun rolling out the new feature for its UK customers and plans to expand in the coming weeks, the report said. Uber has partnered with travel booking company Hopper to sell flights and will take a small commission from each sale, the report said.

On Wednesday, Uber rolled out the ability to book flights to select customers in the UK. Uber is adding a new addition to its app that lets customers book plane tickets, the Financial Times first reported. It will be rolled out to all UK users this summer as part of its ambitions to create a "super app" for public transport. "Over the last 12 months with the addition of rail, coach, and now flight bookings, Uber is truly a one-stop travel solution." Brem told the newspaper that the launch of commercial flight bookings was "the latest and most ambitious step" in its goal to expand Uber into a larger travel app.
