Seems they have done some loan talks with UAE. So UAE Kareem in and Uber out. Closing operation without giving any valid reason makes no sense and UAE Kareem running its operation successfully.Thank you Mir Bajwa & Shahbaz Speed.

Careem was bought by Uber not long ago.Seems they have done some loan talks with UAE. So UAE Kareem in and Uber out. Closing operation without giving any valid reason makes no sense and UAE Kareem running its operation successfully.
This is clearly a business decision that is meant to streamline their footprint in the country. This has nothing to do with the government or the current economic troubles. Some may try to spin this differently.Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) will discontinue its ride-hailing services app in five cities in Pakistan including Karachi and Islamabad, the company said on Tuesday, in a move that will reduce market overlap between the U.S. firm and its Middle East unit Careem.

On a related note, cab and auto drivers in India are typically livid with Uber and other ride hailing services. I wonder how things are in Pakistan![]()
It's due to severe corruption by Uber drivers who don't accept the ride when it's done they charge whatever they want and then later accept it which is much lower then what they got.Thank you Mir Bajwa & Shahbaz Speed.

That's not the reason..Uber hands over services to Careem so it doesn’t create internal competition.
Le Pakis: “It’s all because of Showbaaz, Bajwa & CIA”
Careem is owned by Uber, so if Uber was really pulling the plug they would sell Careem.It's due to severe corruption by Uber drivers who don't accept the ride when it's done they charge whatever they want and then later accept it which is much lower then what they got.
Many tourists are complaining about it.
Corruption is rampant everywhere in Pakistan
That's not the reason..
PayPal never entered for a reason.
Several tech companies also leaving for a reason.
Nothing to do with IK or bajwa... corruption remained the same in each era
Careem will soon leave tooWhat is the problem? Instead of duplicate brands, they just consolidated to one.
Sell to whom?Careem is owned by Uber, so if Uber was really pulling the plug they would sell Careem.
Careem will soon leave too
Sell to whom?
It's not simple to pull out of every market
In Driver's growth has been absolutely incredible, from 0% market share in 2021 to almost 70%+ now. It remains to see if they can maintain that market share because that growth was all out of VC's money dumping into the platform.In-Driver is currently destroying all the ride-hailing companies right now in Pakistan.
That's the case with all ride-hailing companies, their plan is to grow as fast as possible while figuring out ways to minimize losses. This approach requires huge capital and large sums of money get burned very quickly. As long as VCs keep giving them money they will keep growing. Look at our own Airlift, when Airlift needed series C funding, the VCs backing Airlift said that they will grant them money after a month. Airlift couldn't afford to wait a month and this resulted in the death of Airlift.In Driver's growth has been absolutely incredible, from 0% market share in 2021 to almost 70%+ now.
