Recently, US-based mobile app Uber officially launched its car service in Changzhou, Jiangsu province on Jan 6. The app was simultaneously launched in ten additional cities throughout the province, including Wuxi, Nantong, Lianyungang, etc.

Compared with taxi, Uber enjoys lower fares. Passengers can also share real-time route updates with Uber's mobile app on their social media accounts, such as WeChat and QQ, providing real-time location updates for their relatives and friends for enhanced safety.

Previously, Uber's Jiangsu branch has accrued many useful service experience during its operation in Nanjing and Suzhou. Even before official operations have begun in Changzhou, many local citizens have already downloaded the app, indicating a huge market need in the city.
