Uber rival Lyft has agreed to acquire the UK business of Gett as it expands into London.

Gett is an app which features three-quarters of London’s black cabs and has built B2B relationships with clients ranging from London’s largest corporations to historic venues and major public sector organisations. 

The deal is expected to close in the coming weeks and will nearly double the number of rides on the Lyft platform in London, Europe’s largest taxi and ride-hail market.
