You have to find ways to find that center, to find that balance, to find sanity, because again, we are getting bigger, and people look at us that way. We have to find that new balance.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Surge pricing only kicks in in order to maximize the number of trips that happen and therefore reduce the number of people that are stranded.
- Legal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's been so much corruption and so much cronyism in the taxi industry and so much regulatory capture, that if you ask for permission upfront for something that's already legal, you'll never get it.
- Innovation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The regulatory systems in place disincentive innovation. It's intense to fight the red tape.
- Economic Activity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My politics are: I'm a trustbuster. Very focused. And yeah, I'm pro-efficiency. I want the most economic activity at the lowest price possible. It's good for everybody; it's not red or blue.
- Disproportionate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I spent a disproportionate amount of my time in a car in L.A. I'm 35 years old. If you add up the hours spent in cars, it would be years.
- Entrepreneur
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been an entrepreneur since I was 18. I started a company with a bunch of buddies that got funded in my senior year, and that's when I finished school. It was called Scour, a peer-to-peer service, file-sharing.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After Scour, I started a company called Red Swoosh. The idea was to take those litigants who sued us for a huge amount of money and turn them into customers with the same technology. I wanted to get them to pay me. It was a revenge business.
- Elegance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Uber is efficiency with elegance on top. That's why I buy an iPhone instead of an average cell phone, why I go to a nice restaurant and pay a little bit more. It's for the experience.
- Law
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to be willing to stand up for what you believe in, and the rule of law is one of those things.
- Credit Card
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Limos, from the beginning of time, they know who they're picking up, they usually have a credit card on file, they know where the pickup location is, and so there's essentially a prearrangement of sorts, and, of course, the limo customer knows the driver, knows the company, knows the rates. All we've done is make it more accessible.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The ability for somebody to put their arm out and get a taxi is fundamentally different then having a 10-minute pickup time. It just is.

- Forward
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are a lot of rules in cities that were designed to protect a particular incumbent, but not to move a city's constituents, a city's citizens, and the city itself, forward. And that's a problem.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have this culture valued at Uber, which we call the champions' mind-set. And champions' mind-set isn't always about winning. It's about putting everything you have on the field, every ounce of passion and energy you have. And if you get knocked down, overcoming adversity.
- Drivers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been derogatory towards taxi drivers.
- Lightning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think Uber is just very different; there's no model to copy. It may be the reason why we've been a lightning rod in so many ways, because we don't do anything conventional... And then I think also, as an entrepreneur, I'm a bit of a lone wolf.
- Progress
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ultimately, progress and innovation win.
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a natural-born trust-buster.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Uber, we say, 'Always be hustling.' Even if you are an introvert and you haven't got hustle in you, you better get a co-founder who does. And if you haven't got enough hustle to find a co-founder who's got hustle, it's going to be tough. You've got to have a little hustle in you.
- Learned

It was a privilege to meet Rev. Jackson, and I learned a tremendous amount from his insight.

We want transportation as reliable as running water.

- First

In my first start-up, I didn't get any salary for four years, so I had to move back with my parents.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
What we like to say is that the vision for Uber is the cross between lifestyle and logistics.
- Immigration
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country's success and, quite honestly, to Uber's.
- Price
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If somebody can offer value at a cheaper price, they should. But that also means Uber should, too.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Competition is fun.
- Cheaper
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If there was a mobility service that's cheaper than owning a car, more reliable, and you get to sit in the back seat instead of being stressed out in the front seat, why would you own a car?
- Positive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There will be a huge, huge positive impact for society when driverless cars become a thing.
