Company History
Uber was founded by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick. The concept was born when they couldn’t get a cab one night. That led to an idea for an app to request rides.
Originally, Uber was only for black luxury cars. The price was about 1.5 times a taxi. In 2011, Uber changed its name from UberCab after complaints.
Uber’s Popularity
The ease of the Uber app fueled its popularity. Users tap a button to order a ride. Their location is pinpointed, and payment happens automatically.
