What We Do
Uride is Canada's fastest growing ridesharing company. Uride was created to fill the massive transportation void that exists in small and mid-market communities that have yet to experience ridesharing. Our goal is to eliminate drinking and driving across Canada. We will do this by continuing to provide fast, affordable, seamless rides for our passengers. In our launch city, Thunder Bay, we had the longest wait times for a taxi in Canada and the second highest fares. Drinking and driving had gone up drastically prior to Uride entering the market. We were born and raised here, and we care about the people. We don’t want to ever see friends, family, or strangers stranded waiting for a ride ever again. We will continue to work tirelessly to provide the best service we possibly can for communities across Canada.
