On average, you can find an Uber in less than 5 minutes in both Dhaka and Chittagong and 13% of Uber’s rider base now use Uber almost 6 times a week. The launch in Sylhet further reiterates Uber’s commitment to Bangladesh.

At Uber we have the unique opportunity to combine global technological excellence and local knowledge and insight to provide convenient mobility options in our cities. We are thrilled to launch our 3rd city in Bangladesh, Sylhet, and be able to provide mobility options and flexible income opportunities to the people of Sylhet.
