Almost ten years after it was founded, Uber topped the list of the world’s leading ride-hailing operators in May 2018. Uber is a transportation network company operating in 65 countries and serving 75 million customers.
Uber has been dominating the U.S. market since its introduction, but many other markets have succumbed to competition from its rivals DiDi, Lyft, Ola, Share Now, Easy Taxi, and Grab. Thanks to an aggressive discount policy, the Chinese company DiDi managed to force Uber out of large parts of Southeastern Asia. Following its 100 million U.S. dollar investment in Lyft in 2015, DiDi plans to continue its international expansion in the coming years.
Congestion mitigation
Both companies are active players in the field of mobility services. Such services include ride-hailing, ride-sharing, car sharing, bike sharing, and scooter sharing. In light of growing urbanization across the globe, mobility services are seen as a measurement to tackle congestion and air pollution in cities.
