Uber Says It Received 3,000 Reports of Sexual Assault in U.S. in 2018
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Uber says it received over 3,000 reports of sexual assault in the United
States last year. The Wall Street-backed ride hailing app has repeatedly
been criticized for not taking passenger safety seriously, and for
ignoring reports of rape and sexual assault by its drivers. Regulators
in London have refused to renew Uber's license to operate in the city,
citing "several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at
risk." Uber can still operate in London while it appeals the decision.
