A spokesman for Uber said the ride-sharing service has applied for a radio taxi license, the lack of which was cited by the city’s authorities as one of the causes for the ban, Reuters reports. The company will also implement other measures to improve passenger safety, including more stringent driver verification, a dedicated incident response team and an in-app emergency button. \[[_Reuters_](http://in.reuters.com/article/2015/01/23/india-uber-delhi-idINKBN0KW0BC20150123 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3679822/uber-new-delhi-resume-operations/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3679822/uber-new-delhi-resume-operations/"},"headline":"Uber to Resume Operations in New Delhi, Spokesman Says","datePublished":"2015-01-23T07:07:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:49:29.363Z","description":"The ride-sharing app has courted controversy around the globe","url":"https://time.com/3679822/uber-new-delhi-resume-operations/","keywords":["Rape","India","New Delhi","Ban","Uber","safety","taxi","resume"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3679822/uber-new-delhi-resume-operations/","name":"Uber to Resume Operations in New Delhi, Spokesman Says"}}]}] ```
