> If the regulators bring about these changes, they are doing their job and I'm happy for them to scare the holy fuck out of Uber and their management team in the process to make that happen.. Not a Londoner, but this was similar to my take on it. This feels like a ceremonial ban designed to wake Uber up and force them to lift their corporate behavior standards. TFL would have known that a multi-year appeal process was almost guaranteed, so it's an easy way to put Uber on notice while also gauging public sentiment towards them during that process.
