In as much as riders and drivers have journeyed with Uber, we have also journeyed with them; making our platform better with every trip. Together, we are changing the way the world moves across our cities."

Sign upThe experience was created by R/GA in Singapore but the agency said production on the project was a collaboration between its Buenos Aires, Bucharest and New York offices, with music production by Fuse Adventures in Audio.
R/GA Singapore’s executive creative director Mark Tipper, said: “Uber uses digital to bring you a physical experience, so we wanted to bring your physical experience back to a digital one. As humans, we have a fascination with turning statistics into something tangible, so bringing thousands of data points to life was a great way to encapsulate the feeling of an Uber ride into a fun, intriguing online experience."
The design of the video is intended to mirror that of the app, using the Uber ‘bit’ to show people’s journeys.
