In 2021, Uber recorded around US$17.5 billion in net income.
The platform has around 93 million monthly users around the world.
The technology company is available in 69 countries and more than 900 cities.
Social networks have become the best channel when it comes to spreading a message or an action. Like the case of a woman who has gone viral on TikTok for sharing a peculiar hack for when she travels in Uber and feels insecure.
Uber’s popularity in many countries around the world is indisputable, which is why, according to the company’s own data, it generated around 17.5 billion US dollars in net revenue in 2021. The report explains that the mobile transport network company has about 93 million monthly users worldwide and is available in 69 countries and more than 900 cities.
In that sense, the costs of Uber may vary depending on where in the world they use it. A study conducted by NetCredit revealed that New York is the most expensive city to travel to in the United States.
For its part, the report also revealed that the countries in the world where Uber trips are the most expensive are Switzerland, followed by Oslo, Norway, Tokyo, Japan, Paris, France and Dublin, Ireland.
The terrifying tip of a woman on TikTok for when traveling in Uber has gone viral because of how strange it is.
Netizen @brennalina advises women who might feel unsafe traveling alone in rideshares and taxis.
The tiktoker indicated that passengers should always leave definitive physical evidence that they were actually in the vehicle, in case “something horrible” happens. For the woman, that includes leaving locks of hair, as well as fingerprints.
“Since a girl on TikTok said she leaves hair and fingerprints on all her Ubers, I leave hair and fingerprints on all my Ubers,” he said in a recent post on the Chinese platform.
The recording has gone viral on networks, as the advice is a bit strange, for which it accumulates 27.5 million views, but also sparked a lively discussion, with traumatized women who shared their harrowing experiences of shared rides in taxis .

“I don’t know if Uber has it, but in Bolt there is a women’s option for women. It usually takes a few more minutes, but it’s much better than risking it,” read one of the comments.
“With what my hair falls out, it is very sure that my DNA is in half the city,” added another Internet user.
“In El Salvador, even if I leave my blood, they don’t know how to identify it,” another user wrote.
“I’ve been doing it since I can remember, either in cars or in boys’ houses,” said another user.
Let’s remember that there are currently many mobility platforms and they have implemented various security measures and tools for passengers and even for drivers. In the case of Uber, the company maintains a great filter with its drivers and provides security tools such as sharing the trips that are made with another person in real time.
Like this video, there are others on social networks, from the users of some services sharing hacks to improve the use of a platform or even a brand.
