Uber to launch ’industry first’ cap on drivers’ hours

Taxi-hailing firm Uber is to introduce a cap on how many hours its drivers can work, saying the move is an "industry first".

The new policy means that a licensed driver on Uber’s app must take an uninterrupted six-hour break after 10 hours of time on a trip with a passenger or on their way to pick up a passenger after confirming a trip request.
