Coinciding with World Tourism Day, the internal data found that Thursday is the busiest day for airport trips in the year. When it comes to the most in demand times, 5 AM sees more drop offs than any other hour of the day, as customer’s head to the airport for a holiday or a business trip. While 1 PM has been revealed as the busiest for people returning home.

But it’s not just airport travel that’s seeing an increase, as business trips have significantly increased in Bucharest: riders made + 10,33% of trips via our solution Uber for Business since the beginning of the year.
