It’s been two months since we moved to Tokyo. I’m missing friends & family, but the family car? Less so. For the first time, we’re a car-free family—some might say it’s long overdue. In Australia, I led a strategy to reduce car ownership for five years, yet I hadn’t made the leap myself until now. Here’s what I’ve learned so far: The ‘4 modes’ hypothesis is spot on: Back in Australia, we persuaded 60 people to give up their cars for five weeks in a research study. We found that people need at least four alternative modes of transport to reduce car dependence. This holds true for me—my everyday options are the train, walking, Uber, and scooters/bikes (initially Luup, now a cargo bike). For year-end travel, I expect we’ll use a carshare service. A reliable commute is key: I started out using Luup scooters or bikes to commute after dropping my daughter at preschool, but availability was hit-or-miss. When scooters weren’t available, I was left walking—often arriving late and sweaty. Two weeks ago, I bought a cargo bike, and it’s been a game changer. I’m saving money: I’m renting out my Sydney car to cover its fixed costs. Comparing this to what I spend on Ubers, Luup, the train, and the bike (amortized over a few years), I’m already ahead—without even factoring in fuel, parking, and tolls. It’s good for Uber: Car-light cities are more livable, but there’s also a clear business benefit for Uber and taxis. Since moving to Japan, my Uber usage has tripled. I’m walking more: My watch data shows my average weekly step count has increased by 10% since moving. I expected more, but cycling may have eaten into my walking time. Still, it’s a positive change. Car evangelists are everywhere: At least once a week, someone at school pickup or the soccer field urges me to get a car. “Life’s easier with a car,” “Weekends away are simpler,” “You won’t survive winter without one.” While well-meaning, these conversations highlight how strong the pull of car ownership remains. Full disclosure: I do wonder how winter will test my resolve, but I’m loving the experience so far. Tokyo makes it easy to go car-free—safe sidewalks, excellent public transport, and quiet streets for cycling. No surprise that only 50% of Tokyo residents own cars, compared to nearly 90% of Sydneysiders. When cities make it easy, people embrace car-free living.

October marks #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth 🩷 🎀   Our 'Women at Uber' Employee Resource Group (ERG) wanted to take an opportunity to share the incredibly inspiring story of Angélica Huacuja in the hopes that it would bring awareness, and encourage other women and allies, to continue talking about this important topic. "I joined Uber 7.5 years ago as part of the legal team in LATAM. Over time, my role within the legal team expanded, and I was promoted to my current role as Labor & Employment Legal Director for LATAM. In this role, I am in charge of advising on Uber’s platform work and traditional employee-related matters while managing a fantastic team. During my time at Uber, I’ve balanced motherhood with a demanding career and I’m thankful for Uber’s support and flexibility, which have allowed me to flourish as a mother and a lawyer. But nothing could have prepared me for the news I received last year. Last year, I faced a significant challenge when I was diagnosed with stage 1 triple negative breast cancer (one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer) by happenstance during surgery to remove a benign lump. This kind of breast cancer is one of the most common in young women however, due to the lack of screening, it is not commonly diagnosed so early in women under 40. I was incredibly lucky. Nonetheless, because of the aggressive nature of the tumor, I underwent a double mastectomy and six rounds of preventive chemotherapy. I chose to continue working flexibly during treatment because it made me feel like myself, took my mind off of the diagnosis, and energized me. Plus, seeing colleagues was always a welcomed distraction. Needless to say, this has been the most shocking, frightening, and painful experience I have ever gone through. However, now that treatment is over, I can see the gifts brought by this diagnosis: an appreciation of the mundane and a true sense of what really matters in life. It also reinforced how thankful I am for the unwavering support I received from Uber. The understanding and encouragement of my colleagues and leadership made a world of difference during treatment, allowing me to focus on my health and my family while continuing with my professional responsibilities. As I reflect on my journey at Uber, I feel the utmost gratitude for the opportunities I’ve had and the supportive environment that has allowed me to thrive professionally and personally during the most challenging times."
