Transport for London has today issued the following statement about the Taxify app.

A TfL spokesperson said:

"The law requires private hire bookings to be taken by licensed private hire operators at a licensed premises, with appropriate record keeping.

"Taxify is not a licensed private hire operator and is not licensed to accept private hire bookings in London. TfL has instructed Taxify to stop accepting bookings and it has done so."
