About Uber
Available in over 10,000 cities, Uber is an app that allows people to easily book rides to wherever they need to go. A better, safer alternative to cabs and taxis, riders enter a destination and a nearby rideshare driver will get a notification on their phone, accept the ride, pick the rider up at their designated location, and take them to their destination. The fare is calculated automatically by Uber and payment and tips are made from the rider to the driver all within the app.
