About Uber

Uber connects people and goods through its global platform, offering services in ride-hailing and logistics.

The company operates on a commission-based model, earning revenue from ride fares, delivery fees, and service charges. What sets Uber apart from competitors is its wide range of services, including freight and essential goods transportation, alongside traditional ride-hailing. Uber aims to enhance mobility and delivery options while ensuring safety through driver background checks and real-time verification.
