Written by中文 | English
No joke. In just under three years, Uber rides in Taiwan have racked up enough mileage to circle Taiwan 153,908 times. We could even span the globe 4,604 times – or get you to Mars to save Matt Damon! To celebrate our millions of miles of service in Taiwan, we’re lowering prices! It’s the same uberX you love, but now 15% cheaper. You’ve got places to be, and we’ll get you there for less.
YOUR uberX is 15% CHEAPER NOW!
Riders benefit from lower fares, which is now one of the most affordable ways to get around cities in Taiwan, and that means more riders taking trips with Uber driver-partners. As our experience in hundreds of cities globally – from New York to Singapore to Taipei – has shown, lower fares means higher demand from riders, and higher demand means drivers spend more time moving people and less time waiting around. That means not just more reliable rides for riders, but also more reliable business for our driver-partners – 76% of whom rely on the platform to supplement their household income. And we aren’t asking drivers to just take our word for it: we are be providing hourly earning guarantees until it is clear that this will be the case.
Independent research has also underscored that Uber’s technology and model help improve driver efficiency, such as a recent paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research that concludes that “uberX drivers spend a significantly higher fraction of their time, and drive a substantially higher share of miles, with a passenger in their car.”
Hundreds of thousands of people across Taiwan already use Uber to get from A to B. We want pushing a button and getting a ride through Uber to be the most reliable option in Taiwan.
Starting today, your favourite ride just became more affordable than ever – we’re dropping uberX fares by an average of 15%. With a base fare of just NT$30, you can count on uberX for one of the efficient ride around Taiwan.
HOW DO THE NEW PRICES COMPARE?
With these changes, we believe we can give even more people in Taiwan the option to leave their car behind, or complete the last mile of their journey from the MRT station to their homes. Get a fare estimate and see how far you can go. See you on the road soon, Taiwan!
