Uber – The Community Taxi Service in Hungary

You can directly book the taxi nearest you, which makes the ride much cheaper. Currently, Uber can be used in more than 220 cities of 45 countries; from now on, the service is also available in Hungary. Uber is a new type of online-based passenger service, a kind of community taxi stand. With the help of an application, the taxi driver can be directly called.

The advantage is that we can call the taxi driver nearest to us. The disadvantage is that not professional taxi drivers can register into the system. Uber promotes its service with cheaper rides – according to their own data, this could mean a saving of 40%.
Why do people choose Uber? As opposed to traditional taxi rides, there is no need for cash or card. The price of the ride is deducted from the passenger’s account. According to the information of the company, 80% of the price goes to the taxi driver and 20% to Uber for the mediation.
