Uber has won a bid to renew its license in London.

A judge decided Monday the rideshare company was "fit and proper" to operate in the city even after "historical failings."

London's transportation division rejected the license last year citing a "pattern of failures" in managing rider safety.

The company appealed the decision saying it has improved its security measures.

Uber has now been granted an 18-month license to operate in the city.

Its London license has been revoked twice since 2017 but the company has been able to continue operating while it appealed.
