Uber arrives in Aberdeen
Ride-hailing giant Uber has taken its first bookings in Aberdeen today, bringing its popular service to the Granite City.
The company has been operating in Scotland since 2014, but this is the first time it has expanded its operations to the north-east.
Uber's arrival in Aberdeen is expected to create hundreds of new jobs and provide a much-needed boost to the local economy. The company is offering a range of services, including UberX, UberXL, and Uber Eats.
UberX is the company's most popular service, and it allows users to book a ride with a private driver. UberXL is a similar service, but it provides larger vehicles for groups of up to six people.
Uber Eats is a food delivery service that allows users to order food from local restaurants and have it delivered to their door. The service is currently available in over 200 cities around the world, and it is expected to be a popular addition to the Aberdeen market.
Uber's arrival in Aberdeen has been welcomed by local businesses and residents. The company's services are expected to make it easier for people to get around the city, and they are also expected to boost trade for local businesses.
However, there have also been some concerns raised about Uber's arrival in Aberdeen. Some people are worried about the safety of the service, while others are concerned about the impact it will have on local taxi drivers.
Uber has said that it is committed to safety, and it has a number of measures in place to protect its passengers. The company also said that it is working with local taxi drivers to ensure that they are not unfairly affected by its arrival in Aberdeen.
