Default Uber are seeking more drivers!

I always believed they had more drivers than they needed,
and that their reduction of the drivers' percentage of fares
was a reflection of that.

So why are Uber advertising for drivers? Is that they are
expanding ever more rapidly or is that drivers are deserting
Uber in large numbers?

Incidentally, apparently in another LBC programme, Sadiq Khan
said he though TfL had made a mistake in giving a licence to
Uber. Did anyone hear that programme?


It's now humanly possible to drive through WC2 at midnight on a Friday
night, so the disaster of countless Uber drivers circling looking for
work appears to have disappeared.
