LONDON: London's transport regulator will delay the introduction of new English language requirements for private-hire drivers after Uber won the right to appeal against the plans, which could cost the ride-hailing service thousands of drivers.
The San Francisco-based company, which offers an app that allows people to book journeys on their smartphones, lost a March court battle against Transport for London (TfL) – one of a number of setbacks as authorities crack down on the business – but was granted an appeal on June 27.
