In the letter, Billany detailed how Uber failed to report a sexual assault to the police in January this year. According to his account, Uber spoke with the driver, who denied the offence, then did "nothing more." Then the driver struck again four months later, assaulting a different female passenger. Three days later, Uber fired the driver and informed Transport for London, which in turn told the police.

比尔兰尼在信中详细描述了优步在今年1月没能向警方上报一起性侵事件的过程。据他称，优步和这名司机谈过话，该司机不承认犯罪，于是此事就“不了了之”。随后，这位司机在四个月后再次作案，性侵了另外一名女性乘客。三天后，优步辞退这名司机，且通知了伦敦交通局，警方这才得知消息。

He accused Uber of reporting "low-level" fraud, but of not reporting more serious episodes because they might damage the company's reputation.

比尔兰尼认为优步汇报了“程度较轻”的犯罪，但可能为保护公司声誉，而对情节更加严重的罪行知情不报。

He added that Uber didn't automatically report serious crimes in case it breached passenger rights.

他还称，优步并没有自动上报情节严重的犯罪以免乘客权益因此受损。

基于以上种种，伦敦交通局认定优步存在公共安全隐患，但是这一裁决仍然引发了大量群众的不满。据BBC报道，优步于9月22日发起网上请愿活动：
