Like Google and Netflix before them, Uber has since released a look back at its year in Singapore, revealing statistics and tidbits into the consumer base here.
One of which is: Singapore really loves Mexican cuisine, considering that burrito bowls are the most ordered dish on UberEats. Runner-up dishes include the likes of nasi ayam penyet at the second spot, kaisen don in third, butter chicken in fourth, and pad thai in fifth.
Another highlight was that the biggest date for food delivery orders was Oct 22, a day after the Backstreet Boys concert. Which may or may not be related.
The ride-hailing giant also had other factoids for movement via Uber rides. Singaporeans took the most trips at 7pm (presumably to rush home after work), and we used Uber the most on Saturdays. International Donut Day — June 2 — was when the most Uber rides were taken on a single day. On the other side of the spectrum, Oct 30 was Singapore’s least popular day for Uber.
This year also marked the time when a mother gave birth to a baby in the back of an Uber car — little Sofwah popped out just minutes before the family reached National University Hospital back in July. She’s at least one of the four babies born in Uber cars worldwide, too.
Uber also launched a pretty slick personalized module for you to check out your own Uber statistics for the year via its #YearWithUber website.
The rear-view mirror reflection, however, doesn’t include the fact that it’s been a really rough year for the company, including the time when its former CEO resigned following months of scandalous revelations. Of course, there was also the time when The Wall Street Journal did an exposé about Uber knowingly leasing defective cars to drivers here, and the fact that it apparently took more than a year for the company to disclose a massive data breach to its customers.
