Uber completed 13.567 billion trips in 2025, an increase of 20% from 11.273 billion a year earlier, according to the company’s annual report. Rounded to one decimal place, that puts Uber’s annual trip volume at 13.6 billion.
The figure illustrates the expanding scale of Uber’s platform, but it is broader than a count of passenger journeys. Under Uber’s reporting methodology, a trip can be either a completed Mobility ride or a completed Delivery order. That means the annual total includes activity across services such as ride-hailing and food or grocery delivery rather than representing 13.6 billion passenger rides alone.
Based on the full-year figure, Uber averaged roughly 37 million completed trips per day during 2025. By the fourth quarter, the pace had risen further, with 3.8 billion trips completed during the three-month period and quarterly trip volume growing 22% from a year earlier. Uber said its users were completing more than 40 million trips a day by that point.
What Uber Counts as a Trip
Uber defines Trips as the number of completed consumer Mobility rides and Delivery orders during a given period. The definition contains an important distinction between a trip and the number of people traveling.
For a conventional UberX ride carrying three passengers, Uber records one trip. An UberX Share ride with three separate paying consumers, however, is recorded as three trips under the company’s methodology.
The metric therefore measures transactions completed through Uber’s consumer Mobility and Delivery businesses rather than passenger journeys, people transported, miles traveled or freight loads. Uber Freight operates as a separate reportable segment and is not included in the company’s stated definition of Trips.
Uber also cautions that operational measures including Trips and Monthly Active Platform Consumers are tracked using its internal systems and tools and are not independently verified by a third party. Its figures can consequently differ from third-party estimates because of differences in data sources and methodologies.
Trip Volume Has Continued to Climb
Uber’s reported trip volume has risen substantially over the past several years. The company recorded 7.642 billion trips in 2022, followed by 9.448 billion in 2023, 11.273 billion in 2024 and 13.567 billion in 2025.
That means the platform handled about 5.9 billion more trips in 2025 than in 2022, an increase of roughly 78% over the three-year period.
Annual growth has remained strong even as the absolute size of the platform has increased. Trips rose 24% in 2023, 19% in 2024 and another 20% in 2025. These percentages refer to Uber’s combined Mobility and Delivery trip metric rather than growth in either business individually.
More Consumers Used Uber’s Platform
The increase in trip volume coincided with growth in Uber’s active consumer base.
Uber reported 202 million Monthly Active Platform Consumers in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 18% from 171 million in the corresponding annual metric for 2024. The figure should not be interpreted as the number of different people who used Uber at any point during the entire year.
Uber defines a Monthly Active Platform Consumer, or MAPC, as a unique consumer who received a Delivery order or completed a Mobility ride at least once during a month, averaged across the three months in a quarter. A person who uses both Mobility and Delivery during the same month is counted only once.
In the fourth quarter, trips increased 22% year over year while MAPCs rose 18%. Uber reported that monthly trips per MAPC increased another 3%, indicating that higher transaction frequency contributed alongside growth in the number of consumers using the platform.
Mobility And Delivery Both Contributed To Growth
Uber attributed the increase in overall Gross Bookings during 2025 primarily to higher trip volumes in its Mobility and Delivery businesses.
Mobility Gross Bookings increased 17% on a reported basis during the year, according to Uber’s segment discussion, with the company attributing the increase to higher trip volumes. Delivery Gross Bookings rose 22%, also driven by increased trip volume.
The two businesses cover different types of transactions. Mobility connects consumers with transportation options, while Delivery includes orders from restaurants, grocers and other merchants. Because Uber combines completed transactions from both businesses in its Trips metric, the 13.567 billion total cannot be separated into Mobility rides and Delivery orders using the headline figure alone.
Uber’s geographic reach also provides context for the scale of those transactions. As of December 31, 2025, the company said its platform was available in more than 15,000 cities across over 70 countries.
Large metropolitan areas remain particularly important to the Mobility business. Uber disclosed that 15% of its Mobility Gross Bookings in 2025 came from trips that either began or ended at an airport.
Gross Bookings Reached $193.5 Billion
The rise in trips translated into higher transaction value across Uber’s platform. Gross Bookings reached $193.454 billion in 2025, up 19% from $162.773 billion in 2024. On a constant-currency basis, Uber reported growth of 20%.
Gross Bookings are not the same as Uber’s revenue. The company defines the measure as the total dollar value of Mobility rides and Delivery orders, including applicable taxes, tolls and fees, as well as Freight revenue. The calculation does not adjust for consumer discounts and refunds, Driver and Merchant earnings or Driver incentives, and it excludes tips earned by Drivers.
Uber reported $52.017 billion in revenue for 2025, up 18% from $43.978 billion in 2024. The company said the increase was primarily attributable to the rise in Gross Bookings, which in turn was largely driven by higher Mobility and Delivery trip volumes.
Operating income nearly doubled to $5.565 billion, compared with $2.799 billion in 2024. Those financial figures measure different aspects of Uber’s business and should not be treated as measures of transaction volume. Trips measure completed consumer transactions, Gross Bookings measure the value moving through the platform under Uber’s definition, and revenue reflects the amount recognized by the company under its accounting policies.
Trip Growth Continued Into 2026
Uber continued to report higher transaction volume after the end of 2025.
In the second quarter of 2026, the company completed 3.867 billion trips, up 18% from 3.268 billion in the same quarter of 2025. Monthly Active Platform Consumers reached 208 million, an increase of 16%, while monthly trips per MAPC rose 2%.
Those quarterly figures are not directly comparable with the 13.567 billion full-year total without accounting for the different reporting periods, but they show that Uber’s trip count remained above its year-earlier level during the first half of 2026.
For 2025 itself, the scale is clear. Uber recorded 13.567 billion completed Mobility rides and Delivery orders, up 20% in a year, while Gross Bookings approached $200 billion. The headline figure of 13.6 billion trips accurately represents that company-reported total when rounded to one decimal place.
