Modern-day mothers are not easy to keep up with; from weekend errands to weekday meetings, moms are always on the go, and at Uber we are proud to help them get around safely, conveniently, and affordably. This Mother's Day, we would like to say, for always making it home in time for dinner, for picking up us from school, for making us share our ETA with you so you know we made it safely, for working hard and never giving up, for making us who we are today, 'Thanks Mom'

Although you might have never thought it at the time, eventually we all come to realize that Mom was right. Whether she was telling you to eat your veggies, brush your teeth, or use a seatbelt, moms are always full of sound advice.

It happens to the best of us - a meeting runs late, you get stuck in traffic, or your flight gets delayed, and before you know it you're making calls and sending messages to let people know you're behind schedule. Luckily there is an Uber feature that allows you to let your friends and family know you're safely on your way, with just a tap of a button.

Today we are excited to announce the launch a new feature with Business Profiles -- Auto-Expense and integrations with top expense management partners Concur, Expensify, Certify, and Chrome River to make expensing as easy as possible. Learn more...

With several New Year’s Eve celebrations under our belts, we’ve noticed a few things about the way the world moves. Check out our infographic of how people celebrate in similar ways no matter what city they're in.

The Uber model is quite simple, ‘push a button, get a ride.’ So simple, in fact, that it has spawned similar businesses across the world. The ‘Uber’ of food delivery, the ‘Uber’ of laundry, the ‘Uber’ of logistics, the ‘Uber’ of the Middle east… and the list goes on. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all, but we like to think that nothing is really as good as the original, and this is why we are summing up what being ‘Uber’ means to us.

At Uber, technology is a core piece of how we improve safety in transportation. We’re proud to announce today that SafetyNet –– an expansion of the “ShareMyETA” feature that lets riders share trip details with loved ones in two taps –– is now available to riders across the United States and in select markets internationally.
