Uber Technologies Inc. has announced the launch of its ride-hailing platform in Newfoundland and Labrador, offering its services across the Avalon Peninsula with St. John’s as the primary service area. However, the company cautions that wait times may be significant initially as the platform gains momentum and attracts additional drivers to join. Over the coming weeks and months, Uber anticipates increased reliability and efficiency as more drivers become available. Uber’s expansion to Newfoundland and Labrador extends its reach to over 140 municipalities in Canada and more than 10,000 cities globally. Despite its rapid expansion, the company has faced criticism for its reliance on gig workers rather than salaried employees to provide transportation services to customers.
