In San Francisco, there are now more cars dedicated to Uber than there were town cars before we launched, showing our growth in the market.

Uber faced legal challenges in Washington D.C. when the taxi commissioner claimed it was illegal to charge by time and distance, despite the law allowing it.

In cities like Boston, Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco, Uber has expanded its services, including the introduction of Uber X, which is about 30% cheaper than traditional options.

The original idea for Uber came from wanting to push a button and get a classy ride, inspired by the difficulty of hailing cabs in cities like Paris and San Francisco.

Currently, 50% of all people who have ever ridden with Uber have done so in the last 30 days, and the average person pays about $105 a month for rides.

As we succeed, not everyone is happy, especially when tackling older industries that are more protected. Uber is significantly improving drivers' lives by helping them earn more money and achieve their American dream.

During my seven years at Uber, we expanded to 70 countries, completed 5 billion rider trips, and achieved a $70 billion valuation.

As liquidity in the marketplace increases, both demand and supply rise, enhancing the overall quality of the Uber experience.

The Uber map exemplifies a psychological breakthrough; it alleviates the stress of waiting for a taxi by providing real-time information, transforming the waiting experience from one of anxiety to relaxation.
