Uber

Uber invented the modern gig economy, destroyed the taxi monopoly worldwide, and forever changed urban transportation with a tap-to-ride model. In 2023 alone, Uber facilitated 9.4 billion trips, making it the dominant ride-hailing app. Cheaper than the typical rival in most cities, Uber's model has been copied by every industry, though it trails WhatsApp's 2 billion user base with 137 million monthly active riders.
