London - Uber said on Monday it

was not clear what concerns London's transport regulator had

for stripping it of its licence as the taxi app battles to keep

operating in one of the world's wealthiest cities.

On Friday, the British capital's regulator deemed Uber unfit

to run a taxi service and decided not to renew its licence to

operate, which will end this week, citing the firm's approach to

reporting serious criminal offences and background checks on

drivers.

"Sitting down with TfL (Transport for London)

representatives as soon as possible would be the most helpful

thing to really understand their concerns to work out what they

are," Uber's UK Head of Cities Fred Jones told BBC radio.

"It's just not clear for us what their concerns might be."
