In regards to Uber customer personal data, Khosrowshahi said simply, "We don't try to monetize it". "We are in this to promote shared transportation in general".

If you're riding alone, make sure to sit in the backseat.

The proposal would increase the tax on rides originating from the District for companies such as Uber and Lyft from 1 percent to 4.75 percent. It's all part of Khosrowshahi's effort to reform Uber's rule-skirting reputation and address valid criticisms about the company's lax approach to safety.

The Federal Trade Commission will expand its oversight of Uber following the disclosure of its improper withholding of a 2016 security breach that exposed sensitive data for more than 25 million users. The money raised from this tax would help fund Metro.

"The benefits of Metro serve all of us", she said.

Earlier this week, Uber announced it would directly compete in the dockless bikeshare market by buying Jump, a provider that uses electrically assisted bikes. Moovel, for example, is a subsidiary of Daimler that is already integrating transit fare payment, bike sharing and vehicle sharing (Daimler also owns the car-sharing service car2go.) The Transit app allows travelers in 125 cities to plan trips using buses, subway, bikeshare (docked and dockless), carsharing and Uber. "All these cases may seem exceptional, but all these cases are what keep people buying a auto, because in the back of their mind that's the only way they feel comfortable living in a city", he said.

Mobile ticketing developer Masabi announced on April 11 that it has entered into a strategic partnership with on-demand taxi company Uber which would integrate public transport tickets into the Uber app. A wide selection of auto types will probably be designed for users, and vehicles can be rented for just as an hour or so for days. This can allow users to reserve public transit trips within the Uber app. The blog also says Uber is investing in new technology that will nearly immediately alert the company to new criminal offenses committed by a driver, such as a DUI arrest. "I don't really ride the Metro", said one customer.
