UBER has a name to live up to, and as a fellow Gulliver recently noted, it seems to be doing so. In the first quarter of this year, Uber and Lyft, combined to account for 46% of business trips taken on the ground in America, versus just 14% for traditional taxis. Looking just at cabs and other ride-hailing services (and excluding hired private cars), Uber serves 69% of business trips, compared with 4% for Lyft.
