Today, Uber connects drivers and passengers in 400 cities worldwide and its drivers include, not just professionals, but also average people willing to drive strangers around for a fee.4 The company launched its UberEats food-delivery app in 2014 and a helicopter taxi-service to JFK airport in New York City in 2019.The company went public in May 2019 and the stock trades under the ticker symbol . Founded in 2009, Uber is a ride-sharing platform that connects drivers with passengers.1
While some Uber drivers are professional drivers, others are average people driving others around for a fee.
Among the challenges Uber faces are laws in California that require ride-sharing companies to treat drivers as employees rather than independent contractors.
Changes in laws can also affect how much Uber pays in taxes.
Some countries and airports have banned ride-sharing companies altogether.
