Uber is ride-hailing app that revolutionized the taxi industry by leveraging technology to create a more convenient, transparent, and affordable ride-hailing experience 🚕
Uber started by two friends, Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, in 2008.
These two were stuck in Paris, frustrated that they couldn’t get a cab. That pain turned into an idea: What if you could tap your phone and get a ride instantly?🤔
By 2009, they launched UberCab in San Francisco — an app that let people hail a ride with just a tap. At first, it was seen as a luxury black car service. But the idea caught on fast, especially with tech-savvy locals who hated waiting for taxis 🚖
Travis, known for his aggressive, go-big-or-go-home style, pushed the company hard. Uber expanded rapidly to cities across the U.S., then globally.
But it wasn’t just about rides — it was about disrupting an entire industry 🤖
