Uber stock price (NYSE:UBER) gained 20% in May 2020


Fortunately, shares of Uber (NYSE:UBER) gained 20% in May 2020. The stock gains have much to do with "better than expected" first-quarter sales. There is also the direction of the wider market. However, for the month of June 2020, uber stock decreased. The ride-sharing market seems to be rebounding from challenges created by the novel coronavirus Covid-19. Uber company is sure trying to increase Uber market share. Some of the top competitors of Uber are: Lyft, Ola, DiDi, Grab, Bolt, Yandex.Taxi, Gett, Curb, Bird and LimeRoad.

Many customers are thinking about whether to use Uber or Lyft. Uber stock (NYSE: UBER) did fall (as many other stocks also fell) since early February after the WHO declared the Coronavirus Covid-19 a global health emergency. Lyft stock (NASDAQ: LYFT) fell even worse than Uber at that time. The spread of the Coronavirus Covid-19 Pandemic certainly had a negative impact on the global stock market and on the ride-sharing market.

More people became confined to their houses because of lockdowns. Some people became more fearful about sharing rides with other people. Uber Eats has continued to create food deliveries through the pandemic. Customers could tell drivers to stay far away and distance themselves. Packages of food could be left near the door.

Uber certainly has better exposure to international markets than Lyft. Uber seems to have outperformed through the pandemic situation. Lyft has a relatively cheaper valuation.

App-based ride-sharing service Uber has certainly had its fair share of controversy since it launched in Canada in 2012. Using Uber's lower-cost option could result in savings of 20 to 50 per cent over regular taxi fares.

  1. As of 2019, Uber was estimated to have over 110 million worldwide uber users. Alternative fascinating taxi service Uber (much-loathed by Kraków's taxi companies) is also now available in Poland, and has in fact chosen Kraków as its European hub. Uber offers one-tap, no-cash-necessary transport via their popular worldwide mobile application.

    Uber is a ridesharing company that operates in over 785 metropolitan areas worldwide. Uber offers peer-to-peer ridesharing, food delivery, bicycle-sharing and ride-hailing.

    Uber was initially founded in 2009 as UberCab and was changed to Uber in 2011.

    Amazingly, Uber has completed more than 5 billion rides worldwide. Uber fulfills 40 million rides per month in the USA alone. Uber is currently available in more than 85 countries globally worldwide. However, there are several popular tourist countries where Uber is really not available. Check the official Uber website if you want to be sure which transportation destinations can be created.

    Here are some of the countries where Uber is available:

    China

    It seems that Uber is no longer available in China as of last year. However, China has its own ride-hailing app (called Didi Chuxing) or "Didi" for short. Didi's interface will look similar to what Uber or Lyft looks like. Didi successfully phased out Uber's global app late last year in China. This forced people to download the Uber China app if they wanted to continue using the service.

    India

    There is Uber in India. However, it is not available completely everywhere. There are differences about how it works in India. In India, Uber drivers seem to work full-time. By the rules, private vehicles can't be used as Uber cabs unless they secure a transport vehicle permit (some USA cities require this taxi registration, also). Both Uber and Ola are popular in India. Ola Cabs is a fascinating Indian ridesharing company offering services that include peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride service hailing, taxi and fast food delivery.

    United States of America

    In the United States of America, Uber had a 67% market share for ride-sharing in early 2019 and a 24% market share for food delivery in 2018. Here are some subsidiaries of Uber: Uber Eats, Careem, Uber Works, Otto.

    Indonesia

    There is Uber in Indonesia. Uber’s main rival across Southeast Asia are: Grab and Go-Jek.

    Pakistan

    There is Uber in Pakistan. Uber lets some riders pay with cash. It seem that in Pakistan, Uber must contend with one of the lowest Internet penetration rates in Asia.

    There is uber in Brazil. The App now has more than 600,000 drivers registered in Brazil.

    Nigeria

    There is uber in Nigeria. In Nigeria, the only 2 cities where Uber currently operates are: Lagos and Abuja. Also, Taxify has launched operations in Ibadan, Nigeria's largest city by land size, and Owerri.

  2. Philippines

    It seems that as of April 16, 2018, uber has shut down operations in Manila. It seems to be no longer available. Grab acquired uber's South East Asian operations. It seems that Grab is currently the only ride-hailing app in Manila.

    Vietnam

    It is not 100% certain whether there is Uber in Vietnam. However, there is an alternative to Uber called "Grab." It seems that Grab is like the Uber of Vietnam. It is a good way to get around the larger cities like Ho Chi Minh, Danang, and Hanoi.

    Turkey

    Uber's business could be finished in Turkey. Some people called for Uber to be banned in Turkey. Make sure you check if it is still available and get updated information on this. Istanbul taxi drivers called for Uber to be banned. There seems to be a conflict between taxi drivers and Uber drivers.

    Germany

    Uber in Germany offers only its UberBlack limo service (known as the original Uber) and UberX/UberTaxi taxi service. It seems that Uber continues to operate in Germany and the EU only as a taxi service. The European Union certainly has different regulations for Uber than USA.

  4. Uber stock fell 14.4% in June. The ride-hailing company's stock is down around 31% from its IPO price of $45 back in May of last year. The global pandemic continues and this effects riders.

  5. There sure is a lot of Uber in Canada. Taxis and most passenger conveyances are regulated by layers of government. Taxis and Ubers generally have to be licensed by a municipal government. Uber has many rides in huge cities of Toronto and Montreal.
