This is a bad outcome for Toronto, and misguided policy
Restricting supply of something that consumers need badly (in this case, reliable, safe, affordable transportation) is not good for the city. See housing
Toronto will freeze the number of Uber and Lyft vehicles operating on its streets, after a surprise council vote Wednesday that Mayor Olivia Chow said would benefit app company workers and reduce emissions. trib.al/QzmLVFj
1) Our goal @Uber is to help flatten the curve of community spread in the cities we serve. With that in mind, we are suspending our Pool option in the US and Canada. 18 cities in all, including SF, NYC and Seattle.
6 years ago today @ryangraves made me an offer to join @Uber
Earlier that day @travisk had to leave my city presentation a bit early, which I initially took as a bad sign but as I turned around to watch him leave I saw him discreetly give Ryan a thumbs up 🙂
And we’re live! 🚀 First trip in ATX accepted 21 seconds after launch - I’d say we’d have some riders excited to experience the magic of @Waymo on @Uber
Big moment! Another @Waymo + @Uber city launch
Important milestone for our partnership, our teams, and most importantly for the city of Atlanta. Autonomous mobility is the future and we're proud to help bring it to the world!
The A is going Autonomous! 🎉 Waymo rides are now live in Atlanta, only on @Uber. Increase your chances of getting matched → open the Uber app, go to settings, and toggle Waymo ride preferences on.
Took a @JUMPbyUber bike to the office today. Paid for the ride with my @Uber Cash wallet with $5 I earned from Uber Rewards. Amazing to think that none of these things existed on our platform just 18 months ago!
Over the years, a lot of ink was spilled claiming that @Uber could never be profitable. That was wrong
Now some have a view that our recent profits must have come at drivers’ expense. That’s wrong too 🙅♂️🙅♂️

1) From today, over 3 million ear-loop face masks are on their way to @Uber drivers and @UberEats delivery people carrying out essential work in hundreds of cities across Europe
609 days later, shared rides are back in the US—and better than before
We’ve built a new experience that’s more efficient and sustainable for riders, drivers, and the cities we serve
UberX Share starts piloting in Miami today!
