Uber claims to have 300,000 NZ users, but taxis say impact is less than feared

Uber claims it has 300,000 users in New Zealand, “almost double” what it had two years ago.

The ridesharing app released limited data about its New Zealand business to mark three years since it launched.

San Francisco-headquartered Uber, which operates in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, also said it had more than 4000 drivers.

Many of the drivers are part-time, with “nearly half” working less than 10 hours a week.
