Uber’s technology aims to provide the safest, most reliable and affordable ride on the road at the click of a button. Technology also enables a very efficient marketplace -- one where riders get picked up in as little as 5 minutes and where drivers spend less time idle and more time earning money by helping people get around their city. In fact, drivers continue to make more money, since they're able to do more trips every hour via the Uber platform. By facilitating more trips per hour, Uber’s technology enables us to offer the most affordable rides on the road - up to 20% cheaper than a taxi. What’s more, drivers on the Uber platform make more money, and provide consumers with a safer, more reliable and higher quality transportation option.
