UBER

a platform where those who drive and deliver can connect with riders, eaters, and restaurants.

Uber is a transportation company with an app that allows passengers to hail a ride and drivers to charge fares and get paid. More specifically, Uber is a ridesharing company that hires independent contractors as drivers.

How is Uber different from taxi?

One major difference between the way Uber and taxis charge customers is that Uber don't charge based on moving or stop-and-go traffic, while taxis do. However, Uber does charge surge rates (for times of day or night that have a higher volume of traffic or cars on the road) - especially during rush hours.
