Your Uber

Uber is a technology platform. The smartphone apps connect driver-partners and riders. In cities where Uber operates, use your rider app to request a ride. In some cities, Uber allows you to pay your fare in cash. In cities where Uber operates, use your rider app to request a ride. When a nearby driver-partner accepts your request, your app displays an estimated time of arrival for the driver-partner heading to your pickup location. Your app notifies you when the driver-partner is about to arrive. 

Your app also provides info about the driver-partner with whom you will ride, including first name, vehicle type, and license plate number. This info helps the two of you connect at your pickup location. 
Use your app to enter your preferred destination anytime before or during the ride. If you have a preferred route, it’s helpful to talk through the directions together.
When you arrive at your destination and exit the vehicle, your trip ends. Your fare is automatically calculated and charged to the payment method you’ve linked to your Uber account. 

It was announced in March 26 last week that Grab acquired Uber’s Southeast Asian operations. Grab’s acquisition covers Uber’s existing operations in Philippines, Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar. Uber will have a mere 27.5 percent stake in the consolidated business over Southeast Asia. For now, everything is status quo.  Uber services will continue to be available in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia but until April 8, 2018 only. After such date, Uber services will stop in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
