Happy New Year, Philly

After 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 Philadelphia used Uber when ringing in the New Year. Check out these 5 fun facts!

Sometimes one celebration isn’t enough! The biggest party hopper took 10 rides throughout the evening.

Don’t be late to the party! 1,033 riders arrived just in time to ring in the New Year, getting out of their Ubers within 9 minutes of midnight.

Share the ride and the cost! 14,696 riders took uberPOOL and/or used our split fare feature when heading to and from their celebrations!

Many affordable rides. Over 73% of rides were at normal price.

Trips peaked at 1am, as riders made their way home from a night of celebration.

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