We believe people will benefit from easier last mile commutes, as well as getting around the city a lot more seamlessly. Technology and mobility are now accessible at the tap of a button and the local citizens are open to exploring new possibilities and alternative transportation methods. Now that people benefit from our ridesharing service, we want to become a trustworthy and reliable tech solution for when they need to get around town.” – says Ana Maria Borlovan, Country Operations Manager Uber Romania.  

Safety as one of the top priorities

Riders in Buzău and Bacău benefit from a series of safety features available in the Uber app, including access to driver information such as photo, car model & number and rating. Passengers are able to track their trip in the app, both before the driver’s arrival to the pick-up location and during the ride and can share the trip with a trusted contact.

Drivers and riders are required to wear masks during trips and have to confirm they understand and comply with the health & safety measures recommended by world health organizations.
