Uber passengers from Munich particularly forgetful
The most forgetful users of the ride-hailing service Uber come from Munich. Nowhere else were more items forgotten in the vehicle last year in relation to the number of journeys completed.
Düsseldorf and Cologne follow in second and third place. This is according to the "Uber Atlas" published in Berlin. Compared to people in Düsseldorf, people in Munich forgot things in their vehicles ten percent more often.
Similar to passengers in conventional cabs, Uber passengers most frequently forgot phones, wallets and keys, but also some bizarre things. These included two painted rat traps, two buckets of dough, a cleaning bucket with a mop and a frozen duck.
Distance driven less than 50 meters
The "Uber Atlas" also shows that the drivers did not always make a great deal with their trips. In three cases, the distance driven was less than 50 meters. In Oberursel (Taunus), the journey ended after just 41 meters. In Cologne, a passenger got off after just 46 meters. And the shortest trip in Munich was just 48 meters.
In contrast, a driver at Berlin Brandenburg Airport "Willy Brandt" (BER) hit the jackpot in the past twelve months. His passenger was driven 863 kilometers to the airport in Zurich in just under nine hours. A driver at Düsseldorf Airport was also lucky: his guest was driven to the Bavarian capital of Munich, 639 kilometers away. This trip took five hours and 35 minutes.
Traffic in Munich often leads to forgotten items in Uber vehicles, with colorful and unusual curiosities such as painted rat traps and frozen ducks being left behind. Despite forgetting items ten percent more frequently than passengers in Düsseldorf, some Uber users in Munich even requested rides through Uber Atlas, a service provided by the company.
