In 2020, Uber's Parisian customers were more concentrated than in 2019. The capital went from 7th to 11th among the most head-to-head cities in France in Uber VTCs.
This is what we learn in the long-awaited classification of lost items of the brand's vehicles.
It is in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) that people forget their stuff the most, followed by Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), Montpellier (Hérault) and Bordeaux (Gironde).
"We must salute the efforts of Parisians", comments with humor, the company.
The ranking is also weekly.
Unsurprisingly, Saturday is the day when passengers are least attentive.
Whip, wedding dress and wedding ring, wig ...
As for the objects, the Parisians are in the classic.
In descending order, the phone is most often abandoned, followed by the bag, the computer, the keys - not practical when you have to go home - headphones, glasses, clothes, wallet , jewelry and finally, the stroller.
Nationally, we even have the most unusual details.
With, in first place, a whip undoubtedly forgotten by an equestrian sportsman.
Uber also noticed "a few other attempts to get into sport which have clearly failed", as evidenced by professional darts, a fitness elastic or even flat studs for sport, found in vehicles.
There is also an alliance and a wedding dress.
Or a wig, a coffee machine, a certificate of citizenship as well as a very light Argentinian leather strap which is used for the bulls.
What to do if you forget?
Fortunately, it is quite easy to find lost items. The application gives the name and registration of the driver and allows direct dialogue with him. It also has a specific tab "I lost something" then "Contact my driver about a forgotten object". By entering your phone number, the system connects the customer and the driver. If it is the laptop that has been forgotten, on the other hand, it will be necessary to connect to the Uber site. The procedure will take a little longer.
This ranking is also an opportunity for the brand to launch its “Restart” operation. For the reopening of terraces, museums, theaters and non-essential stores, Uber is offering 1,000 rides to customers in Paris, Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Lyon (Rhône), Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), Nantes, Bordeaux and Lille (North). They will be in play on Wednesdays when the restriction is lifted - namely this May 19 then June 9 and 30 as well as every Saturday evening until June 26. Each time between 6 p.m. and curfew time.
