Uber was founded in 2009 in San Francisco and has since grown to over 101 million users in 900 cities across 69 countries. Studies show drunk driving decreased 25-35% since Uber launched, and Uber has paid drivers over $78 billion with $650 million in tips. Uber is committing to making transportation more sustainable by becoming a zero-emissions platform for Europe, the US and Canada by 2030, and globally by 2040, making it a cheaper and greener alternative to taxis.
