You cannot outsmart Uber, It knows almost everything about you and your Device
Smart Ideas
I used to see comments on facebook, google plus, twitter about accounts getting banned, disabled, barred from booking a ride. Everyone seems complaining about Uber for blocking account. Its true that Uber sweeps all accounts time to time for security and flags some accounts for blocking. Most of the cases are correct where some are not.

People create multiple accounts to get free rides or free credits and enjoy. Here Uber is spending $200 million on marketing in india via free rides, so Uber is making sure it reaches to new users most of the time not fake accounts. 

If you don't want to use Uber account smoothly then follow some rule..

  • Create one and only account for yourself using your mobile number.
  • Add only one paytm account, once and final, don't try to change. Yet you may change, steps are here.
  • Login one and only your account in your device.
  • Different account, must use different device, eg. Your wife should use her device to login.
  • Don't refer hundreds of people at once, take it slow.
  • Don't put your referral code on public media where you don't own the content eg Primary Content Creator
Learn some pro tips to use uber on your daily commute and perfect your pickup.
Uber collects 'uncool' amount of data from your device to know your account is unique or not.
According to Hacker News, user revelation has actually listed everything the Uber Android app can learn about users, as found below:
  • Accounts log (Email)
  • App Activity (Name, PackageName, Process Number of activity, Processed id)
  • App Data Usage (Cache size, code size, data size, name, package name)
  • App Install (installed at, name, package name, unknown sources enabled, version code, version name)
  • Battery (health, level, plugged, present, scale, status, technology, temperature, voltage)
  • Device Info (board, brand, build version, cell number, device, device type, display, fingerprint, ip, mac address, manufacturer, model, os platform, product, sdk code, total disk space, unknown sources enabled)
  • GPS (accuracy, altitude, latitude, longitude, provider, speed)
  • MMS (from number, mms at, mmss type, service number, to number)
  • NetData (bytes received, bytes sent, connection type, interface type)
  • PhoneCall (call duration, called at, from number, phone call type, to number)
  • SMS (from number, service number, sms at, sms type, to number)
  • TelephonyInfo (cell tower id, cell tower latitude, cell tower longitude, imei, iso country code, local area code, meid, mobile country code, mobile network code, network name, network type, phone type, sim serial number, sim state, subscriber id)
  • WifiConnection (bssid, ip, linkspeed, macaddr, networkid, rssi, ssid)
  • WifiNeighbors (bssid, capabilities, frequency, level, ssid)
  • Root Check (root staus code, root status reason code, root version, sig file version)
  • Malware Info (algorithm confidence, app list, found malware, malware sdk version, package list, reason code, service list, sigfile version)
Decide yourself before creating fake account and get free rides. Still you can have some adventure and if you find any loophole to create fake account using Bluestack or some other app, let us know.
Uber mobilizes customers to channel its message to authorities
As Uber grows in number and popularity, regulators face a new lobbying group: Uber Mobile app users who love Uber. 

Uber haven't used any of the tactics in India officially, except Drivers in Delhi protested against ban in NCR region.  Uber is not shy about marshaling those constituencies to lobby public officials who have threatened moves that would hurt Uber's business.

Uber operates in 18 cities in India and more then 300 cities worldwide. Uber faces all , support and hate, welcome and ban. Uber is building its biggest facility in Hyderabad with the help of Telangana Govt outside US. Uber gets Delhi HC relief in capital region. Uber keeps expanding all over the world each week. Still there are many events when it faced ban, hate and challenging time in several parts of the world. Here's a rundown of the digital protest campaigns Uber has set in motion:

July 2015
Uber takes a swipe at New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by adding a "De Blasio's Uber" feature to its app. The app shows long wait times or no Uber rides. Customers are redirected to a petition opposing a cap proposed by de Blasio on the total number of Uber drivers in the city.

April 2015
Uber emails customers across California urging them to sign a petition against a bill requiring random drug testing and fingerprint checks for drivers. When electronically signed, the petition automatically sends pre-written email to customers' local Assembly members.

February 2015
After Virginia allows services like Uber to operate there, the company posts on its website the Twitter handles of key legislators who supported the bill, telling customers to send them a special thank-you.

August 2014
Uber carpet-bombs residents in Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla's district with mailers, slamming her as "anti-tech, anti-consumer choice" and "pro-special interest." Bonilla sponsored a bill to require Uber-like companies to carry more comprehensive liability insurance.

August 2014
Uber blasts California customers with email urging them to oppose an insurance bill it said would "kill ridesharing in the Golden State." The email, with phone numbers for every state senator, linked to a petition constituents could sign in opposition.

June 2014
Uber posts on its website the emails, phone numbers and Twitter handles of every California state senator, urging customers to oppose bills on insurance and driver background checks.

Uber wins a war in New York against System with Peoples help
Uber de blasio

People has tremendous power and some are using it after getting elected by them. Recently we have few events where people have shown their strengths via internet and changed the course of action.

Net Neutrality
Some teclos(like Airtel) and big brands(Like Flipkart) tried to curb same speed internet in India on purpose. Its all over the internet for some time. Some good people came against it and asked for help from common people to stop the preference for some services over internet usage.
People needed to send a pre drafted mail to TRAI and telecom ministry to act against it. Enormous amount of people replied and govt has to take action and review the current offering by teclos.

Change.org is such a place where you can create such campaign and ask for help from common people, if sufficient number of people replied in favor then you will make it happen.

Stop Parliament canteen subsidy: This campaign is about to stop the parliament canteen subsidy. Prime minister will take action if 150k people will reply in favor.

Uber De Blasio Campaign: New York city mayor  tried to curd uber growth in the city by putting cap of 201 taxi enrollment in a year where uber enrolls similar amount  in week.
Uber asked for riders help to notify mayor that its insane to curb growth. Uber gave an option in app to send a pre-drafted mail to mayor to reconsider his proposal.

Uber Delhi Win: Recently Delhi HC judge ruled AAP govt that, ig you can't understand technology, you can't simply ban them.

12 Most wanted Uber features riders ware waiting worldwide
Book your ride and arrive in style
This is a compilation post from Quora and other sources for most wanted Uber features. I hope you like these features as well, I f I missed some of the features please comment to to let me know.

Real time fare during ride
Some times I use free ride to go somewhere and it have some limited credit in it,  show me the current fare in real time during a ride so I can end one trip within budget and start another if needed. Its sheer optimization of free ride you get after referral.

Don't ask for location service always (I know where I am, most of the time.)
Do not intentionally break the app when location services are turned  off. I keep location turned off by default, and usually know where I am.  I can find it on a map faster than turning on location and waiting for  it to initialize (and this may not even work well underground or in a  moving train, or worse, a moving train underground).

Let me choose destination on map
Let  me specify my destination (for the fare quote or for actual destination as well ) on the map instead of  requiring me to come up with a text address which hopefully corresponds  to the location I want to go to (and have no way of confirming this).

Driver arrival notification
They could make it more obvious to the customer that the driver has arrived so the driver doesn't sit and wait, finally call only to be told "OH are you HERE? I"ll be down in two minutes! Or, Well, I'm standing out side and I don't see you anywhere, where are you? They might actually educate the customers as to how to be responsible for the car they hire.

See Also : Uber pro tip to improve your uber experience

Tell the color of car/cab
I know what kind of car it is and I know its license plate; but if you're driving a Prius, I will undoubtedly see at least three drive by, and will be frantically trying to catch the license plate of each one. It is far easier to do pattern matching with a color that covers a large surface area than with small numbers and letters low to the ground.

Advance Reservation
Drivers who accept must be online 15 minutes before or it gets routed to open drivers. X number of missed appointments means you lose eligibility.
My #1 product request is advance reservations, so I can count on the car and be assured that I will make it to where I need to go.

Bulk booking discounted subscriptions
I would like to see Uber adding bulk discounted subscriptions, say a set price for X rides with at most Y distance per ride per month ( with appropriate discounting / increases for carpooling and surge pricing etc. ). Their business folks can probably crunch the numbers to figure out what limits would make it profitable.

Keep my mobile number secret
Let the drivers make calls from their work / uber phone instead of the personal one, using Twilio so the passenger's personal number is not exposed.


Build an in-app messaging/voice call solution 
It often happened that I was abroad, using a different phone number (or roaming with not enough balance to receive a call) and the driver couldn't call me. Going through the process of verifying a new number or making another account is inconvenient (especially if  just arrived at the airport).

Repeat Rider/Driver Notification, "Welcome Back"
For drivers, have something change if the customer is a repeat rider, like the color of their name, add an asterisk, etc. Makes for a nicer welcome if you can say 'Welcome back'.

Airline like mileage program
I would like a mileage program like the airlines have. Perhaps that would make me sticky towards a particular service.

Auto Party Mode /Uber Night
An "Uber Night" button could be fun.  I hit the button once and for the rest of the night I don't touch the app or my credit card, Uber runs it all.
        Use case scenario: Uber picks us up, takes us to a bar that based on our drop off history and what's going on in that city they think we should like, then picks us up and takes us to dinner they think we should like, takes us out after dinner if we want, and the night can continue until we'd like to go home.  Maybe the driver presents us with some options along the way, like a choose your own adventure -- "see some music or get some drinks".  Could be fun in our home city, would be great on the road.

Time Cost for UberX                          : Rs 240/-
Toll Charge One way                         : Rs 195/-

Toll Cahrges : Rs 195/-
Distance: 175/- (60 km free in 6 hours, rest have to pay Rs 12 per km)
Total Charges : 480+ 195+ 1380=Rs 2055/-

           Please do your calculation before booking your ride. Some factor may wary depending upon traffic, road condition , pick up-drop point. But still its higher then expected cost.

Note: Uber tried this concept earlier as well with UberSUV vehicles costing Rs 3999/- per booking, probably dropped the idea due to cost. Now its UberX , sedan segment cars, lets hopw it becomes successfull so Uber will bring down its cost a bit more. Its still costly.

Uber India Plans for $50 Million Office New Jobs in Hyderabad an IT Hub
Random office Building
 Uber is showing its interest and commitment in India by planning to build a world class office one of the biggest outside US. It draws $50m to build a new office india.
     
           Uber recently expanded its presence in India by 7 new cities. Now uber serves in total 18 cities. Uber is expanding its business by 40% month over month basis which is huge.

           Online taxi-hailing company Uber has committed $50 million (Rs 317 crore) over 5 years for a center it is establishing in Hyderabad to train its drivers and customer support staff.

           Under a memorandum of understanding it signed with the Telangana government, Uber plans to hire about 500 people to this facility in the next 5 years. Its India customer support team already operates out of Hyderabad.

           Uber will also collaborate with Telangana Academy for Skills and Knowledge to identify and train more than 2,000 drivers by the end of 2016, who will then drive on its platform, the company said in a statement on Monday

               Few days back Uber unveiled its San Francisco office pictures which is quite amazing.

Uber office in San Francisco (Planning to build)

                  Uber declined to comment on the purpose of its new facility, but it is likely to house the company’s first service centre outside of the US, according to people familiar with the matter.
Employees in the Hyderabad office will respond to messages from drivers or customers in the 18 cities in which the ride-hailing service operates in India, its largest market by number of cities outside of the US.

Uber official blog reports 

Sixteen months ago our technology transformed urban mobility for millions of Indians, when it launched in Hyderabad, by introducing a more safe, reliable and efficient way to move around the city. In fact, the flexibility, entrepreneurial opportunity and earning potential of Uber’s innovative technology had an equally transformational impact on the livelihoods of thousands of driver partners and their families.

Earlier today, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Telangana to create thousands of jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities, foster technical innovation and research into smart city initiatives and a commitment to make significant investments

Speaking at the ceremony, Siddharth Shanker, GM Hyderabad, Uber said,
Shri K T Rama Rao Garu, Hon’ble Minister for IT and Panchayat Raj has shown great vision by supporting innovation and embracing choice. This is an outstanding example of what can be achieved when the private and the public sector work together with the best interests of the local communities at heart to bridge the digital divide in line with Prime Minister Modi’s Digital India initiative.

We have a long-term commitment to creating tens of thousands of jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities, bringing greater efficiency to automobile utilization and safer transportation choices for people in Telangana state. The MoU is a visionary step and a significant milestone in how governments and Uber are working together around the world to develop smarter cities.

The first-of-its-kind MoU between the Government of Telangana and Uber will include the following areas:

Job Creation

We will leverage the unique model of our platform to create unrivalled entrepreneurship opportunities and support tens of thousands of middle class jobs in the state of Telangana.

We will partner with the government to create socio-economic opportunities for women and people from resource poor sections of society. Uber will collaborate with The Telangana Academy for Skills and Knowledge (TASK) to identify and train 2000+ candidates by the end of 2016 who will then drive on the Uber platform.

Though our Vehicle Finance program and technology platform we will facilitate first-time vehicle ownership and provide unrivalled economic opportunities for the successful candidates from the TASK program

Uber Hyderabad


Investment in Hyderabad

We will invest upwards of USD 50 million into Hyderabad to establish a state-of-the-art facility that will house hundreds of new employees.
Future-Ready Policy

Our teams will work closely with the government to develop a new framework to be executed in the next four weeks for on-demand transportation technology aggregator services that are bringing unprecedented benefits to urban transportation and the lives of thousands of drivers.
Smart Cities

Uber has always been deeply committed to enhancing people’s lives by revolutionizing urban mobility. Our vision for the City of the Future is one where a city like Hyderabad has fewer cars on the road than it does today leading to roads that are safer and have less congestion and pollution.

We will engage with T-Hub and the government and explore synergies to foster the smart cities initiative and technological innovation in the city using big data analysis

As more and more people in Hyderabad choose Uber as their preferred choice, the city strengthens its position at the forefront of innovation for Uber globally. Most recently, in April, we picked Hyderabad over 320+ other cities as the location for Uber’s global-first cash payment experiment.

This is an exciting time for Uber in Hyderabad and we hope you will continue to support us on our ride ahead.

“Our data already shows that residents and visitors in each of these new cities have been eagerly waiting for Uber for some time now and we expect to see a similar response here. Our focus on continuously leading the way on safety and creating thousands of new entrepreneurs will drive our growth ahead!” he added.

The new cities to get Uber services include Bhubaneswar, Coimbatore, Indore, Mysore, Nagpur, Surat and Visakhapatnam. The company says that this is the largest number of new international cities Uber has ever launched in simultaneously.

Services will kick off in these cities tomorrow. With these seven new cities, Uber will now have operations in a total of 18 cities that include, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Chandigarh.

As an introductory offer, Uber will be offering new users in these cities an opportunity to get free rides. When signing up, users will have to use the promo code ‘INDIA18’ to avail the offer. Each user will be entitled to three free rides worth Rs 200 each. Since it is a new launch, the company has warned that users may have to wait a bit to get hold of a cab.

The Delhi high court banned all app-based cab-hailing services in the capital last December, after a woman had been allegedly raped by a driver contracted to Uber. On 12 June, the ban was set aside for Ola and Taxiforsure, but Uber’s petition is still pending.

Cab aggregators like Uber, which didn’t pay service tax earlier, may now have to do so, according to the government’s definition of ‘aggregator’. Uber is facing similar issues in South Korea, Germany and Thailand.

Uber also had to change its payment model and launched a payment wallet, after the Reserve Bank of India disallowed automatic payments made through credit cards.

Uber, which was founded in 2009 by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, is one of the fastest growing venture-backed private firms in the world. It is in talks to raise fresh funds at an estimated valuation of $50 billion, which would make it the world’s most valued start-up, according to several media reports.
