Transport for London (TfL) confirmed it was investigating the company,
saying it was not licensed to operate.
"Taxify is not a London
licensed private hire operator," a TfL spokesman said in a statement
issued on Thursday. "We are urgently investigating the nature and extent
of its activities and will take action where appropriate."
Taxify launched private
hire taxi hailing services across London on Sept. 5. It said it had signed up
3,000 drivers and had 30,000 customers download its ride-ordering app in its
first three days of service. The company said it looked forward to discussions
with TfL to resolve the issue.
