Uber introducing budget-friendly option for commuters
Earlier this week, the company unveiled 'Route Share,' which allows users to share a ride with up to two other passengers along busy corridors for up to 50% less than the cost of UberX.
Spain will limit access to Madrid's airport to try to prevent homeless camping
'Route Share offers consistent and frequent pickup options along direct routes during morning and evening commute hours (6-10 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. local time Monday through Friday),' the company said in a news release. 'With pickups every 20 minutes along busy corridors during weekday commute hours, you'll get the predictability and comfort of Uber, for even less (up to 50% cheaper than UberX).'
Uber said the program will initially be available in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston, and Baltimore.
More cities are expected to be added in the future. The company has not announced a start date for the program.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

The Kayak of Rideshare: Obi's New CEO Bets on Pricing Transparency
The rideshare boom reshaped urban transportation, bringing millions of riders and drivers into a new kind of mobility network. Today, the U.S. market is dominated by a handful of players—Uber and Lyft in particular—while autonomous vehicle (AV) operators begin to carve out early footholds. Fares have climbed, competition has thinned, and new entrants often struggle to survive. In this environment, Obi, a global rideshare aggregator often called 'the Kayak of rideshare,' is betting that rideshare transparency can shift the balance—giving riders more choice, enabling providers to reach new customers, and preparing the market for the complexity that comes when AVs scale. From Revel's Exit to Obi's Rideshare Opportunity The latest shake-up came on August 11, when Revel, an electric rideshare operator, announced it would exit New York City, the country's largest and most expensive ride-hail market, to focus on EV charging. For Obi, it was both a market signal and an opportunity. When the company added Revel's pricing to its app, 10 percent of all Obi rides in NYC shifted to the electric upstart—a clear indication that when riders can see all their options in one place, behavior changes. As Revel departs, Obi is doubling down on its mission to make that kind of transparency available everywhere. New Obi CEO Bets on Rideshare Pricing Transparency On the same day Revel exited New York's ride-hail market, Obi appointed Ashwini Anburajan as CEO. Since joining as Chief Revenue Officer in 2023, Anburajan has driven global expansion, revenue growth, and headline-making data products, including an AV-pricing analysis that revealed Waymo charges $3.50 per km versus Uber's $2.90 and Lyft's $2.60—yet still draws riders willing to pay the premium. Her résumé blends worlds rarely seen together in mobility leadership—crypto fund co-founder, startup operator, venture investor and NBC political reporter. That combination of storytelling, deal-making, and data strategy now fuels Obi's push to open a market where opacity has long been standard. She steps in as AV adoption accelerates, pricing transparency gains attention, and both riders and providers look for more sustainable economics. Founder Payam Safa, who built Obi into a platform with over 1 million users in 175 countries, moves into the roles of chairman and president. An Industry Built on Rideshare Consolidation Rideshare is projected to grow from roughly $190 billion in 2024 to $480 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. But in the U.S., the industry reality is consolidation. Uber and Lyft control the vast majority of rides and often move in parallel on pricing and policy, while augmenting their rideshare businesses with subscriptions (Uber One, Lyft Pink) and delivery services (Uber Eats, Lyft Delivery). Billions in venture capital once poured into the rideshare industry to break up entrenched taxi monopolies, but in the U.S., the market ultimately consolidated around two dominant players. AV entrants like Waymo and Tesla remain niche players in limited geographies, more a signal of the future than a competitive force today. Why NYC's Rideshare Prices Could Shape the Future of Mobility New York City isn't just the country's largest rideshare market—it's also one of the most expensive in the world. According to Obi's Global Rideshare Report, $10 gets you just 1.8 km (1.1 mi) in NYC, compared to 2.3 km in London or Paris, and 27 km in New Delhi. Base fares average $24.19 before tips and fees, pushing many trips past $30. Public-data laws make NYC one of the few cities where fare data is transparent in real time, allowing researchers and regulators to see the patterns: riders paying more, drivers earning less. Half the drivers surveyed in Obi's 2024 report said rides have become too expensive for passengers—a statistic that underscores why rideshare pricing transparency is gaining urgency. Rideshare Pricing Advocacy: The Untapped Frontier In recent years, the rideshare industry has seen advocacy around driver pay, benefits, and safety—highlighted by The New York Times reporting on passenger assault claims—but little focus on rideshare pricing transparency for riders. Obi is positioning that as the next frontier. In markets where fares are opaque and fluctuating, riders are often unaware of how much more they could be paying compared to other providers for the same trip. Cities like Denver have added driver take-rate disclosures to show more transparency to customers, but it's unclear if this has influenced how riders choose rides or leave tips. The launch of new apps promising no surge pricing underscores growing interest in models that build trust through transparent, predictable pricing. In addition to Waymo, Tesla and other AV offerings, Empower is offering drivers a subscription-based model and consumers lower prices. New entrant YUR launches in NYC this month, promising no surge pricing. Heride in Atlanta pairs female passengers with female riders. Alto in Miami targets luxury consumers. None have captured a significant market share. Obi's mission is to bring rideshare pricing transparency to every market, allowing riders to compare real-time fares across providers, just like Kayak did for flights. Why Autonomous Vehicle Growth Makes Obi's Rideshare Model Stronger AV adoption is still in its early stages, with Waymo, Tesla and others operating in limited geographies. But as they expand, so will the complexity of comparing rides—not just by price, but by mode, fleet type, and service level. Obi's aggregation model is built for that future, allowing riders to weigh autonomous vehicle premiums against human-driven rides in real time. Its AV pricing analysis—showing riders will pay more for perceived safety and novelty—highlights why Waymo pricing intelligence could become even more valuable as autonomous fleets scale. How Obi's Rideshare Data Is Shaping Industry Headlines Obi's data isn't just powering its app—it's informing major reporting and policy discussions: Even in the face of resistance, including instances where riders received messages warning that linking their account to a third-party app could risk deactivation, Obi has continued to grow, underscoring consumer demand for rideshare transparency. How Obi Survived Where Other Rideshare Aggregators Failed Rideshare aggregators have a grim track record. Migo raised $11 million before disappearing. Bliq raised $20 million in total, only to lay off staff and flounder earlier this year. Obi has raised just $5 million but outlasted them by focusing on product quality, user trust, and monetizing its data. While many rideshare companies refuse to pay affiliate commissions, Obi has built a parallel revenue stream via a data business selling anonymized, aggregated insights. That business model gives Obi independence from any one platform's goodwill, a critical advantage in a market where partnerships can be fleeting. What's Next for Obi—and the Future of Rideshare Transparency As rideshare prices climb and AV adoption accelerates, Obi is positioning rideshare pricing transparency as both a consumer right and a competitive necessity. 'The most valuable thing you can own in this industry,' Anburajan says, 'is the trust of the consumer.' If that trust shifts toward platforms that empower riders with real-time, side-by-side choice, the next wave of mobility disruption might not come from a new fleet on the street—but from who controls the data in your pocket with rideshare pricing transparency.

Trump To Judge Putin 'In The First Two Minutes' — Will Walk Out If No Fair Deal: 'That'll Be The End'
President Donald Trump signaled his expectations for his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating he was prepared to walk away if a deal could not be reached. Trump: Deal or Walk in 'First Two Minutes' Trump has indicated that he will know within the 'first two minutes' of the meeting whether a deal is possible. He also suggested that he is prepared to abandon the talks and allow the conflict between the two sides to continue. Trump added, "I may leave and say good luck, and that'll be the end." Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Putin and Trump are expected to discuss potential 'land swaps', despite Ukraine's constitutional prohibition against such actions. During a news conference, the U.S. President dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statements that his country's constitution forbids him from ceding land to an invader. Trump stated that he would see what Putin has in mind and judge 'if it's a fair deal.' Despite the high stakes, Trump did not mention any security guarantees for Ukraine. His Vice President, JD Vance, stated on Fox News that the U.S. was 'done' funding the Ukraine war. The location and duration of the meeting remain undisclosed, adding to the sense of US-Putin Meet Since 2021 Spurs EU Concerns The meeting marks the first between sitting U.S. and Russian presidents since June 2021. Trump's comments have sparked concern among Ukrainians and European allies, who have pledged to continue arming Ukraine regardless of the meeting's outcome. Zelensky, who has not been invited to the talks, expressed concern that Trump could be easily 'deceived.' European officials have also expressed worry over Trump's approach to the negotiations, fearing that Putin could manipulate the situation to his advantage. In response, the EU has organized a conference call on August 13, involving Trump, Zelensky, EU leaders, and the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, reported EU News. Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed continued U.S.-Russia contact, according to the South China Morning Post. Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke to Zelenskyy, urging a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Energy markets have been under pressure ahead of the high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting. Over the past 5 days, the United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:USO) and iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (BATS:IEO) declined 2.23% and 1.73%, respectively.

Uber's Rally Takes a Breather. Could the Next Move Higher Be Even Bigger?
Uber (UBER) is one of the top-performing large-cap stocks in 2025. The stock has surged 53% year-to-date, far outpacing the S&P 500 Index ($SPX), which is up 9% over the same stretch. The rally has been driven by strong business momentum, reflected through steady growth in trips and gross bookings with robust demand for both its ride-hailing and delivery services. Moreover, its unique positioning in the fast-evolving autonomous vehicle industry further pushed its share price higher. Yet after months of momentum, Uber's stock seems to have paused for breath. Over the past month, shares have slipped more than 3%, even as the company's second-quarter results on Aug. 6 beat Wall Street's expectations. More News from Barchart This High-Yield (7%) Dividend Stock Is Down Significantly in 2025. Should You Buy the Dip? Dear CoreWeave Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for August 14 Tesla Is Axing Its Dojo Supercomputer Plans. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock Here? Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! The lack of an immediate post-earnings bounce raises questions about whether Uber's rally is running out of fuel or if it's simply the calm before another big move. Let's take a closer look. Uber's Core Growth Drivers Still Intact Uber stock may have taken a breather after a strong run, but the company's core growth drivers remain solid. Moreover, the company's latest quarterly numbers show that Uber's business is firing on multiple cylinders. In the second quarter, both trips and gross bookings surged 18% year-over-year, reflecting resilient demand across Uber's diversified platform. The company's monthly active platform consumers (MAPCs) climbed to a record 180 million, up 15% from a year earlier. Notably, engagement on its platform has increased, and on the supply side, Uber reported 8.8 million active drivers and couriers worldwide, marking a 20% annual increase. Uber's ability to use its mobility and delivery platforms as a gateway to attract new customers, convert them into cross-platform users, and deepen engagement over time is paying off well. Notably, customers who use both services have retention rates more than 35% higher than single-service users and generate over three times the gross bookings. Yet, the opportunity is far from fully realized, with fewer than one in five eligible customers active on both platforms, leaving a vast runway for growth. The company's subscription program, Uber One, has also become a powerful driver of engagement. Membership hit over 36 million in June, up roughly 60% year-over-year, and now accounts for more than 40% of combined mobility and delivery gross bookings. Retention rates remain strong, with new members sticking around at levels similar to long-term subscribers. Uber also continued to expand Uber One's reach, launching in Argentina and rolling out mobility benefits in seven additional countries during the quarter. Uber's core ride-hailing business continues to deliver steady gains, with trips growing 19% year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter. The segment is benefiting from competitive pricing, a focus on deepening customer engagement, and expansion into suburban markets. Affordable ride options are also helping Uber tap into more price-sensitive customers, further expanding market share. On the delivery side, momentum is equally robust. Delivery trips rose 17% year over year, while gross bookings jumped 20%, driven by membership growth and healthy grocery & retail (G&R) revenue performance. There's still plenty of room to expand, as around 30% of eligible ride-hailing customers have never used Uber's delivery services, and roughly 75% haven't tried its G&R options yet. Looking ahead, Uber is also well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving autonomous vehicle (AV) market. With its massive 180 million monthly active users, Uber is in a solid position to serve as the leading marketplace connecting AV supply with rider demand. Its high-utilization network offers AV manufacturers an attractive platform to maximize efficiency and occupancy. Uber has already partnered with 20 AV companies across Mobility, Delivery, and Freight, and is actively working to put more autonomous vehicles on its network. What's Next for Uber Stock? While the rally in Uber stock has hit a pause, its growth engine is still running at full speed with multiple levers, from cross-platform engagement to autonomous vehicle partnerships, poised to drive the next phase of expansion. Wall Street remains bullish on Uber. Analysts maintain a 'Strong Buy' consensus rating, pointing to further growth ahead. The highest price target on the Street stands at $150, suggesting potential 65% upside from current levels.
