Here are a few Uber stats I was able to dig up so far. As with all of my stat posts, this one will be updated whenever I stumble on new and interesting stats. Be sure to subscribe to my site updates and/or check back regularly to see the latest Uber facts.
Quite possibly the most notable and newsworthy (for better or worse) digital company of recent years has been Uber. Over the years, the ride-sharing company experienced some pretty serious controversies, blunders and roadblocks, while continuing to grow and rack up funding.
With so much going on with Uber lately and a sizable initial public offering on the way, I thought it may be a good time to take a quick look at user totals and other interesting Uber statistics and facts. I hope you find all of this Uber data helpful and, as mentioned earlier, be sure to check back often for updates.
