TfL's decision to roll back the Cleaner Vehicle Discount is deeply disappointing.
Drivers who did the right thing and went electric - just like City Hall asked - face paying thousands of pounds in new costs.
We are also losing one of London's most effective clean air tools.

This change would affect professional drivers, as well as couriers, key workers, and small business.

Many #Uber drivers are reporting deductions of 50% or more between what riders pay and what actually gets passed on to them - far above the company’s stated average.
This raises serious questions about transparency, fairness, and sustainability in the #GigEconomy.

Big gig operators must come clean. Stop hiding behind token “cleaning fees.”
Pay drivers properly. Cover the full loss of time when platform issues hit - like when riders are sick in the vehicle.
Fair pay. Fair treatment. Nothing less.
