As an avid motorcycle rider I was pretty stoked to see this news. Just plugged a random Bangkok ride for fun - Thailand Cultural Centre to Thanon Phaya Thai. 7.7km trip (~4.78 miles). That ‘moto’ ride would cost an estimated 54-68 baht ($1.51-1.91 USD for the curious). There’s no surge in that area right now, so…

Not sure how this will work here. My thinking is that UberMOTO is mainly going to be a service for neophyte but somewhat adventurous tourists that don’t speak any Thai.
You can get fare estimates on Uber, but it’s a little inconvenient to check estimates for each type of service. Uber…

If you’ve ever used Uber, you know how convenient it is. Their newly released uberASSIST function aims to ensure…

I’m probably one of the last people you should take work productivity advice from... But for me - I know that I just have to convince myself to *start*. Just start. Start whatever it is I need to be doing. I have noticed time and time again, That once you force yourself just to begin the tedious task... Suddenly it’s…

The problem is that you don’t know if this is a positive or negative infinity.
Following protests and police raids, Uber has announced that it’s shutting down operations of UberPop in France as…
