Hi Friends,
Since Uber’s launch in Johannesburg in September 2013, there have been over 969 000 active riders and 12 000 active drivers using Uber app in South Africa alone…that’s a lot of trips! With so many trips taking place each day Uber began to wonder… which places are the most popular for international visitors and locals?

With so many trips taking place each day Uber began to wonder… which places are the most popular for international visitors and locals?
Uber is in the business of connecting people to places and we know that drivers know a thing or two about where locals and visitors like to go in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
- Most popular eateries in Cape Town - Tortilla Modern Mexican, Cubana Latino Cafe & Cigar Lounge - Somerset Rd
- Most popular hotel in Cape Town Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel
- The Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Michelangelo Hotel and Raphael Penthouse Suites are the most popular in Johannesburg
- Johannesburg most visited eateries are Lobby Bar and Faces Lounge
Cape Town
Cape Town has unique and vibrant eateries that have become a hit with riders in the Mother City. They often get requests to destinations such as Tortilla Modern Mexican, Cubana Latino Cafe & Cigar Lounge - Somerset Rd, Obz Square as well as Arnold's Restaurant are the most requested destinations amongst Capetonians. Hotels, as well as Business Parks such as the Wembley Square Offices, The Boulevard Office Park and Mandela Rhodes Place Hotel and Spa, are also popular in the city with many of their riders requesting these destinations on a daily basis.
Collin, one of the Uber drivers we spoke to said that he absolutely loves the views that he gets to see while on a trip in the city or while waiting for riders and can never get enough of the beauty of God's masterpiece that Cape Town is.
Johannesburg
From the feedback Uber received, Joburg drivers mentioned that they noticed a trend of business people using Uber, especially in Sandton with the most popular destinations including The Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Michelangelo Hotel and Raphael Penthouse Suites. The drivers were all in agreement that Sandton is a convenient place for business people but also has the trendiest spots for food and drinks, such as Lobby Bar and Faces Lounge, which are the most visited places for Uber riders traveling around Sandton.
Another driver that Uber chatted to, Keegan Lessing, explains that he enjoys showing international tourists around the city and says that it makes him feel like he is representing the country as a tour guide.
With the above destinations, it’s not hard to see why riders find the app convenient as it offers a stress-free option of traveling to and from various destinations whether for business or leisure.
