Uber connects people and goods through its global platform, offering services in ride-hailing and logistics. Users can request rides or deliveries via the app, which matches them with drivers or delivery personnel. The company operates on a commission-based model, earning revenue from ride fares, delivery fees, and service charges. What sets Uber apart from its competitors is its extensive range of services, including freight and essential goods transportation, alongside traditional ride-hailing. Uber's goal is to enhance mobility and delivery options while ensuring safety through driver background checks and real-time verification.
