Whether you are headed to work, meeting a client, or exploring Honolulu’s nightlife — you deserve to ride safely.
We’re continuing our series, called “Why I Ride”, which highlights Uber’s top riders in the community. We will be showcasing a series of entrepreneurs, community leaders and some recognizable local faces who are sharing their stories of Uber around the island.
We recently had the chance to catch up with Joe, Chief Operating Officer at Nella Media Group to find out why he rides! See below for his interview:
Why do you ride?
Uber is a convenient, comfortable and safe way to travel, especially with all of the events I attend for work. I don’t have time nor do I want to worry about counting cocktails before driving.
What makes you feel safe about riding with Uber?
Knowing Uber driver partners haven’t been drinking and they’re cool, regular people.
What occasions do you use Uber?
I usually use Uber in the evenings, networking and client events, parties or just going out for the night.
What is your favorite feature in the app?
I mostly enjoy seeing the designated route ahead of time so I can make time-saving suggestions if I know them.
How did you sign up for Uber?
On the app as soon as the service launched in Honolulu.
What is your favorite Uber option (product) and why?.
UberSELECT – I don’t always use it, because budget, but I do like riding in style and comfort.
What is your favorite place to Uber to?
Out for dinner and drinks! Different places all the time.

Uber’s technology makes it possible to focus on safety for riders and drivers before, during and after every trip in ways that were not possible before smartphones.
Before Getting into the Car
- No more street hails or waiting outside to find a ride. You can start the Uber app from anywhere and wait safely for your car to arrive.
- Trips are no longer anonymous. When a driver accepts your request, you see his or her first name, photo, and license plate number. You can also check whether others have had a good experience with him or her.
During the Ride
- Never get lost. You can see the route on the map in the app.
- Share your ETA and location. You can easily share your ride details, including the specific route and estimated time of arrival, with friends or family for extra peace of mind.
After the Ride
- Feedback and ratings after every trip. After every ride, you and your drivers are asked to rate each other and provide feedback.
- 24/7 Support. If something happens in a car, whether it’s a traffic accident or altercation between you and your driver, our customer support team is ready to respond to any issues 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Rapid Response. We have a dedicated Incident Response Team to answer any more urgent issues.
