38. Historical Background Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick founded Uber in 2009 from the frustration of not being able to hail a cab in San Francisco. Initially, the business model focused on the idea of sending a request to book a cab by using a mobile and connecting them with nearby drivers. By providing a more convenient and efficient way, this cab service disrupted the traditional transportation industry. It was named UberCab and later changed to Uber as it expanded its services beyond taxis including UberX, UberPools, and UberEats. This expansion marked the beginning of the company from a simple ride-hailing service to a global tech giant revolutionizing transportation and logistics. | May 2024 38

To generate revenue, it charges riders the ride-hailing fees for each trip with a commission from drivers’ fares as a service fee. Uber Pass and Uber Rewards are part of its subscription services that offer additional revenue streams with benefits regarding discounted fares and free delivery for Uber Eats for monthly and yearly fees. Additionally, it monetizes its platform through advertising partnerships with businesses and brands, along with revenue from ventures such as Uber Freight and Uber Health. Economic Contribution In terms of job creation, Uber is providing jobs to unskilled gig workers in urban areas without any social security. By offering adjustable employment opportunities as independent contractors, Uber encourages countless individuals to earn income on their own.
