In a statement Uber says: "Thousands of people in York have used the Uber app over the last year to travel safely from A to B.
"More choice and competition is good for both consumers and drivers, as it raises service levels across the board."

The proposed development, on an area which is currently farmland, would have been built at Junction 37 and would have space for about 560 cars, according to motorway services provider Moto.
It's claimed that when fully open, a service station could bring about 200 new full-time jobs to the area.
Objectors to the scheme from local villages of Marr, Barnburgh and surrounding areas attended the meeting and welcomed the decision to refuse planning permission.

David Tomlinson, 40, of HMP Marshgate, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court today for sentencing after pleading guilty to robbery last week.
In June 2017, Tomlinson threatened an 89-year-old woman with a brick at her home on Lees Hall Road, Norton and demanded money from her.
DC Yvonne Fairbrother, from Sheffield’s Performance Crime Team, said: “Tomlinson subjected this elderly woman to a terrifying ordeal and she genuinely believed she would come to serious harm if she didn’t comply with his demands for money.
“Tomlinson is a prolific, dangerous individual who was on life licence after serving previous sentences for similar offences, so I’m pleased he is now behind bars for a significant period of time.”
