Uber started out to solve a simple problem: \u00a0the need to get a ride across town. Six years and one billion trips later, we\u2019ve stumbled upon something a bit bigger: \u00a0a new way to help tackle congestion\u2014one of the most serious challenges cities face today.<\/p>\n
Using technology, Uber makes it quick and easy for people headed in the same direction at the same time to share their journey. \u00a0It\u2019s carpooling at the press of a button. \u00a0And by getting more people into fewer cars we\u2019ve proven you can reduce congestion and pollution overtime. \u00a0uberPOOL in Los Angeles, for example, cut the number of kilometers driven across town by 12.7 million and carbon dioxide pollution by 1,400 metric tons in just eight months.<\/p>\n
Longer term, we\u2019re optimistic that smartphone apps like Uber can also offer a real alternative to individual car ownership. \u00a0After all, if you can press a button and get an affordable ride across town in minutes 24-hours a day, why bother to own a car? \u00a0There is an alternative to a world that looks like a parking lot and moves like a traffic jam. \u00a0Join Uber to help make that future possible.<\/p>\n
