Do you know where you are going but need a ride? Have you tried Uber yet? Uber is a ridesharing app. Per the site, “There’s no need to park or wait for a taxi or bus.

Just open the app and tell us where you’re going.” When using it, what I liked best is adding the tip right there on the app. Join the ridesharing revolution!
