In our monthly On-Demand news update, we're breaking down the latest ridesharing and PCO driving news from July 2020. So you can continue to be informed and stay ahead of the curve, let's review what unfolded in July!

London hotspots for PCN fines

To help drivers, we’ve monitored our PCO fleet to determine what days of the week carry the most risk and at which hours is it most likely to get a PCN.

Our data showed that our drivers received the highest number of PCNs during the day, from 6 am to 9 am and from 3 pm to 6 pm. 

Face masks become mandatory across England

Starting July 24th 2020, wearing a mask in shops and supermarkets will be mandatory. Those who don't comply with the rule, can face fines up to £100.

In an effort to keep drivers and passengers safe, masks became mandatory in the rideshare industry in June. 

Your health and wellbeing are top priority

Everyone feels the pressure and stress of these difficult times. TfL encourages licensees to seek medical help, for both physical and mental health issues. 

If you're feeling unwell, the first step is to get in touch with your GP. Click below for more info on helplines, charities and public services.

Ultra-low emission streets

Two zones in the City Fringe area are now restricted to walking, cycling and low-emissions cars (ULEV- Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicles) only, every Monday to Friday, 7-10 AM and 4-7 PM.

Petrol, diesel or older hybrid cars which aren’t registered for an exemption aren’t allowed to enter the streets during the operating times. If your car is not exempt, you will face a penalty charge notice.
