Backed by rider insights and captivating data, the report shares information on the increasing importance of ridesharing within the country and efforts to create sustainable cities for the future.

Uber X was found to be the most popular mode of service in Sri Lanka, followed by the cost-effective options UberMoto and UberTuk. One Galle Face, Kottawa Town and the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre were the top three locations within Sri Lanka on the Uber app. While December was the most popular month for Uber rides in Sri Lanka, the highest percentage of Uber trips happened between 5.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. in 2019. Sri Lanka-registered Uber users traveling overseas reported the most rides in Doha, Chennai and Melbourne.
