What is Uber?
An Uber is a one tap mobile app that

transportation companies in Singapore. This
outstanding application allows consumers
(taxi passengers) with smartphones to submit
a trip request. This request is submitted
and routed to the nearest Uber driver(s) who
will come to the exact point where you are
to pick you. The good news is that this
software allows drivers to navigate to a
destination where they are not familiar
with, which helps them to driver their
client with no worry of getting lost
whatsoever.
How does Uber Works
Once you have installed the application on
your smartphone, what remains is for you to
enjoy the amazing experience it offers. You
are required to send a ride request using
the Uber app, which will be broadcasted to
all Uber Cab drivers who are near your
vicinity. As soon as the request is
received, a nearby driver will accept it and
come to you within minutes. The software
uses an On-Demand service, which means there
are no reservations as well as no waiting in
taxi lines.
The Uber software allows passengers to
access and compare rates/fares for different
Uber companies/drivers, which allows users
to get fair fare quotes in the app. Once a
diver has confirmed that he/she is coming to
pick you, you can plan to settle the fare
using either PayPal or Google Wallet.
Benefits of Uber
This new and modern way to travel has a
bunch of benefits, which include the
following:
· The app allows drivers to pick passengers
anywhere anytime
· The User app is of great benefit to
drivers who are driving to a new destination
where they have little information on the
road to use. The same benefit is enjoyed by
the passengers; they need not to worry about
getting lost
· The app allows taxi/fleet owners to get
more returns, since booking is done on a
24/7 basis and payment made directly to the
owner(s)

software is an app that connects taxi
drivers to the nearest passenger(s) or
clients. Therefore, a driver using this
software has to be conversant with all the
procedure of carrying out this special kind
of business. Therefore, some basic
requirements must be satisfied in order for
an individual to become an Uber driver.
Indeed, the following are some of the ways
on how to become an Uber driver in
Singapore:
#1. Undergo an extensive training on how to
use the Uber app
Just like any other modern technological
feature in the market, users must know how
to use it well so that they can realize its
significance. Similarly, as an Uber driver,
you must know how to use the app
extensively. The good news is that most taxi
companies using the Uber software carry out

This is important because it allows both the
driver and the client to communicate and
interact effectively.
#2. You must be a Singaporean or PR

one of the basic requirements is that you
have to be either a Singaporean or PR. In
addition, being a Singaporean is not enough;
you must know at least 50 percent of the
main roads connecting different places,
especially in your area of operation.
#3. You should not have been imprisoned for
a period more than seven days
A taxi driver is someone who should be
trusted to take you anywhere anytime. In
other words, he/she should not be a
criminal. Similarly, an Uber driver should
be a person of good morals with no criminal
record. Well, someone can be imprisoned due
to minor traffic offense(s) that cannot last
for a week. However, a jail term that
extends a period more than seven days must
be a serious crime, and that kind of person
should not be allowed to become one of the

#4. You should have a minimum one-year local
driving experience
As stated in the previous section, a client
can request you (driver) to come and pick
him/her in a residential estate far away
from the main street or road. Despite the
fact that the Uber app helps drivers to
navigate through the local area, it is very
important for the driver to have at least
some driving experience in the area of
operation. Therefore, a minimum of one
driving experience is quite okay.
#5. Claas 3A or Class 3 Driving License
A driving license is one of the basic
requirements in Singapore before an
individual is allowed to drive any kind of a
motor vehicle of any description on the
country’s roads. Similarly, an Uber driver
must have a valid driver license.
#6. Aged 25 years or older
Another requirement for an Uber driver is
that he/she must be at the age of 25 years
or older. Ideally, drivers of this age have
better control of the vehicle on the road as
compared to young people and teens.
#7. A minimum of one-year limousine service
experience
Finally, all Uber drivers must have at least
one-year limousine service experience. This
is because; most companies offering this
kind of elegant travels use limousines while
serving their clients.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that Uber app experience
is another amazing breakthrough in travel
industry that helps
passengers/clients/customers to achieve
satisfaction of their money of their fare.
