Last month, Uber hit 10 billion completed trips across rides and deliveries, the company announced on Wednesday. This comes about one year after Uber hit five billion trips. Lyft, Uber’s main competitor in the US, hit half a billion rides last October. Uber officially hit the milestone on June 10 when 173 trips and deliveries simultaneously started at 10:12 p.m. GMT. The trips were in 21 countries across five continents, Tech Crunch reported. This milestone is despite Uber’s many struggles since it first launched in 2010. Uber has faced a bevy of criticism with regard to its workplace culture, the behavior of its former CEO Travis Kalanick and more.
