>At least 14,000 trips involved drivers who weren’t who the riders thought they were,

any idea what the source of this info is?

And not sure what the timeframe here is. Is it 14000 since Uber started operating in london?

IIRC you can complain (either on uber or uber eats) that the driver didn't look like their photo. It might be from that. Not sure how else they can get the info

source seems to be TFL not uber and even then that would just be number of possible instances not actual instances reported in the article.
