With Uber, Everyone Rides

The Uber platform was created to solve the challenge of getting a ride, whenever, wherever people need one.

Regardless of what a person looks like, their income, background, ability or where he or she might be going – the Uber app blindly provides ride reliability never before seen in transportation. Today, Uber is delivering rides at the touch of a button and within minutes, connecting riders to convenient, efficient and safe transportation options in over 170 cities around the world. The app’s features not only revolutionize the rider experience end-to-end, but have also improved “the quality of life for those who are regularly dissed by taxi drivers.”

In Chicago, 4 in 10 Uber rides start or end in underserved neighborhoods. In New York City, Uber does more trips to the outer boroughs than yellow taxis, period. In Boston, up to 35% of residents in outlying neighborhoods were previously unable to get a taxi within 20 minutes of a request – but since Uber’s arrival, service and reliability have improved dramatically across all Boston neighborhoods. The bottom line is that riders — all riders — can now count on Uber for reliable transportation close to home.

The reason is simple: The Uber platform solves for taxi underservice with core features that provide unprecedented accountability and transparency. The app works in a few key ways to ensure rides are connected blindly:

Reliability and accountability are paramount to us at Uber, as is our commitment to serving all riders, no exceptions.  Effortless trip requests that ensure the highest quality and broadest possible service are just the beginning – every feature in the app is designed from the ground up to make your transportation experience simple, affordable and transparent. We’re committed to constantly improving our app to deliver more value to our riders and bettering the way people connect with their communities.
