Where were you at 4:16 AM GMT on Saturday, June 18?
In that single second a month ago, 147 Uber rides started—tying for our two billionth trip.
These trips happened in 16 countries on five continents, from Costa Rica to Russia and from China to Australia. The longest of the bunch lasted more than an hour as the rider and driver worked their way across Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital. The shortest, a POOL trip in Changsha, China, lasted just three minutes.
...Today Uber is in 450 cities around the world. So we’re giving $450 to each of these 147 lucky drivers and riders.
It took five years to reach our billionth trip, six months to reach the next billion … and we’ll hopefully reach our third even more quickly. Thanks to all the drivers out there for making every trip possible.
