My first ride with UBER

After my arrival at SFO on Sunday evening I had to go to Santa Clara to attend the Cloud Foundry Summit. Good opportunity to test drive the UBER service – or, to be precise: the UberX service, as the classic Uber service is available in San Fran only. It was an easy experience and I was happy to find out my driver was a very likeable person, we had a nice chat during the half an hour we shared.

For readers of my blog who are not familiar with UBER yet, this is how they describe themselves on their website:

Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From our founding in 2009 to our launches in hundreds of cities today, Uber’s rapidly expanding global presence continues to bring people and their cities closer.
