Mr Khosrowshahi, who took over at Uber [bbc.co.uk] less than a month ago, wrote [bbc.co.uk]: "While Uber has revolutionised the way people move in cities around the world, it's equally true that we've got things wrong along the way.

"On behalf of everyone at Uber globally, I apologise for the mistakes we've made."

In a letter addressed to Londoners, the new boss said the firm "won't be perfect, but we will listen to you".

Mr Khan, who is also chairman of TfL, said on Monday: "What you can't do is have a situation where unfair pressure is brought on a quasi-judicial body, where there are officials working incredibly hard.

"I appreciate Uber has an army of PR experts, I appreciate Uber has an army of lawyers - they've also made aggressive threats about taking us to court."

Wielding the coercive power of government is stressful enough without people fighting back?
