How Uber app changed my life?

Once I got a chance to attend the seminar of Neale Donald Walsch, an author of a series of books. As he is an actor and a screenwriter as well, so I was much excited and planned to see him at an auditorium that is at a distance of about three hours. I don't have a car, so I contacted one of my friends that I will manage to go but she has to pick me from the auditorium and drop me home. The seminar ended at 5 pm, and it was extreme winters, so the sun hid too early than expected. However, I was relaxed, attended the seminar and called my friend to come and pick me but what happened next was more like a disaster on me. My friend said, her car broke up on the way, for a moment, I felt like I am left alone on this planet. I tried to contact other friends, but there were ample excuses for each note. I was perplexed and stressed, as I was trying to reach out my family members knowing that I’ve to face mental torture all the way back to home, suddenly an idea hit like a beam of hope. I connected the internet and booked a car from Uber App. As I thought of confirming ride, the assumption of fare scared me because it is expensive to hire a car for a journey that will take hours. I was confused, taking into account that there might be an accident or mishap because it has gone dark.

As I was getting late, so I thought about leaving everything on my luck. I booked a car, and it was a few minutes that the driver contacted me and after four minutes a car came to pick me up. As I had a look at fare, I was amazed to see that it was less than half of a casual ride. (Moon &Youngme, 2015). I got into the car and took a sigh of relief. The driver was very kind, and he followed the location I entered for my way. After a few hours, I was standing outside my destination, relaxed with pleasure that I came back home safely. Although it was my first experience to use Uber, it guided me to build trust in application. Uber acted as a lifeboat because people like me who don't own a car are usually surrounded by incidents, sometimes it is lack of public transport, normally it is the peak rates, and in rainy days everything is devastating in traveling. Uber literally changed my life because it is an always available service with full security. (Grant, et, al. 2016). After that day, I started using Uber whenever I am having short of time, or there is a lack of transport. It is important to note that uber so customer friendly that off and on I receive promo packages that offer rides at a discount of 50%. (Berger, et, al. 2018).

Uber brought great ease to my life because it is convenient, not only for a single member but the services are meant for families as well. (Moon &Youngme, 2015).Whenever I plan trips with my friends and family, I book a ride that can allow all my partners to fit in. I can say that I always had a great experience with Uber. In a nutshell, Uber is not just an application for booking rides; it is a real-time service that has brought great comfort to my life. It has made traveling so easy, taking into account all the features of a good ride such as comfort, suitable price security, and humbleness of a driver.
