Happy New Year, Egypt!

After a several New Year’s Eves under our belt, we’ve learned that millions of people in cities around the world rely on Uber for a safe, reliable ride to and from their celebrations. This year, we wanted to spotlight how riders in Cairo and Alexandria used Uber when ringing in the New Year. Check out these 5 fun facts!

 

Sometimes one celebration isn’t enough! The biggest party hopper in Cairo took seven rides throughout the evening, and the biggest party hopper in Alexandria took four rides. Not to mention that the Average ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) in Cairo was 4.26 minutes, and 4.76 minutes in Alexandria.

 

 

 

Don’t be late to the party! 1225 riders in Cairo and 214 riders in Alexandria arrived just in time to ring in the New Year, getting out of their Ubers within 9 minutes of midnight.

 

 

 

 

Many affordable rides. Over 69% of rides in Cairo and 60% of rides in Alexandria were at normal price.

 

 

 

 

Be there soon! 472 riders in Cairo and 56 riders in Alexandria used our “Share Status” feature to let their friends/family know they were on their way.

 

 

Thank you to the thousands of drivers who moved Egypt safely, and to the riders who let us be part of their evening. Here’s to 2017: we hope you’ll join us again for the ride.

 

Let’s smoothly ride into 2017.
