Uber is an app operated by Uber Technologies, Inc. of the U.S., and is used in more than 450 cities in 70 countries around the world. You will be quoted an approximate fare to your destination. The number of Uber users is increasing because the app is safe to use and there is no need to worry about being ripped off, as payment is made automatically with a credit card registered in the app. In Japan, a permit is required to drive a cab under the Road Transport Law, and those without a permit are prohibited from driving for a fee, so they cannot use the service. In Japan, Uber Eats, a food delivery service conducted by bicycle or motorcycle, is frequently used in urban areas in place of Uber.
