Uber Hits 40 Million Daily Trips, 200 Million Monthly Users Globally

Uber, the world’s biggest ride-hailing company, has hit an amazing milestone. It now handles more than 40 million trips every single day. This serves over 200 million users around the world each month. The company shared this news as it wrapped up 2025, one of its best years ever.

These big numbers came from Uber’s latest earnings report for the fourth quarter and the full year. The report came out on Tuesday. The huge jump in daily trips helped Uber do better than ever. Both its ride-hailing and food delivery services grew steadily all year long.

What makes these figures so special is what they mean. Uber is no longer just a handy app for big cities. It has turned into a key part of everyday life for transport and deliveries in many places. Few apps move as many people, meals, and packages every day.

The growth comes from rising demand for Uber’s main services. In the fourth quarter alone, total trips jumped 22% compared to last year. That reached 3.8 billion trips. More people used the app, and each user took more trips. Revenue for the quarter went up 20% to $14.4 billion. Uber also made $2.8 billion in free cash flow.

This is a big deal for Uber. For years, the company worked hard to make money. Now, it reported $1.8 billion in operating income for the quarter. That’s its best result so far. At the end of the year, Uber had $7.6 billion in cash and short-term investments. This gives it plenty of money to grow and launch new features.

Uber’s CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, said the company starts 2026 full of energy. He pointed to the user growth and better cash flow. “More than 200 million monthly users completing over 40 million trips a day is our largest and most engaged base ever,” he said.

This success shows Uber is becoming a must-have in daily routines. In many cities, public buses and trains don’t cover everything. Traffic jams and flexible jobs make people need quick rides. Uber lets users book rides, food deliveries, and even goods all in one app. This builds strong habits, not just one-time uses.

As rivals grow tougher, like local ride apps, new delivery companies, and big super apps, Uber’s size gives it an edge. It can set better prices, make strong partnerships, and roll out products faster than smaller players.

Looking forward, Uber expects bookings in the first quarter of 2026 to hit up to $53.5 billion. Profits should keep rising. The company is putting money into self-driving car deals and better tools for moving goods. Its giant user base will help it lead as transport and delivery change.

Right now, Uber’s results send a clear message. Hundreds of millions use the app every month. Tens of millions count on it every day. From busy streets in New York to growing cities in Africa and Asia, Uber is everywhere. It powers commutes, quick meals, and packages for people worldwide.

This growth proves ride-hailing has gone mainstream. Uber turned a simple idea, tap your phone for a ride, into a global habit. As it eyes new tech like driverless cars, the company looks set to keep leading. For users, it means reliable service is just a few taps away, no matter where they are.
