Uber CEO: ‘We’ve got things wrong along the way’
The apology is part of an effort to repair the company’s relationship with London authorities as well as build trust with consumers.

The news from London’s transportation regulator called Uber “not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator license,” thus issuing—at least for the moment—a death blow to the company in the European hub.
Here’s the full version of Khosrowshahi’s open letter to Londoners, which was published in the city’s Evening Standards:
