Uber plans to make China its main market until the end of 2015. From June 22, the company will start searching for investors. According to Uber, about a billion dollars are needed to realize this goal.
The head of Uber, Travis Kalanik, said that he was going to launch Uber in 50 new cities in China. While he works in 11 cities. Every day there are about a million trips per day. While in December 2014, the same number of trips was daily recorded worldwide. Therefore, Kalanik argues that the service develops most rapidly in Asia, and not in the United States or any other countries.
For nine months, the Chinese cities of Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu went around New York by the number of daily trips. And there the service has been operating for four years. 200 thousand inhabitants of Hangzhou are working in UberChina.
