[DS Notes] Private Car Service Uber is Expanding Its Asia Pacific Presence

Earlier this week SGE.io reported that San Francisco-based Uber will be adding seven new markets in Asia Pacific as part of its global expansion plan. The company has yet to confirm but there's enough evidence to support this report. The seven new markets apparently will be Auckland, Bangalore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai, and Taipei. Uber makes locating private cars for hire more convenient through smartphone apps and credit card payments. The company launched its service in Singapore in February of this year.
