Uber

Ride-hailing, delivery and freight platform · United States

Uber runs an app platform that connects riders, eaters and shippers with independent drivers, couriers and carriers, keeping a fee on every ride, delivery and freight load.

What makes it different

Uber's service is delivered by earners it does not employ.

Drivers and couriers are independent providers, so the platform grows its trips without growing a fleet or a payroll to match.
