TfL's concerns include Uber's approach to carrying out background checks on drivers and reporting serious criminal offences. Uber's current licence is due to run until 30 September. 3.5 million passengers and 40,000 drivers use the Uber app in London. Chief executive Travis Kalanick resigned in July following a series of scandals and criticism of his management style. In June, 20 staff were sacked after a law firm investigated specific complaints made to the company about sexual harassment, bullyin...
