Since implementing Google Maps Platform, we’ve seen a 66% increase in the number of riders using our navigation function, and a 30% reduction in the number of riders contacting support. It’s clear to us that with Google Maps Platform we’re giving riders the navigation features they need to move quickly and safely around their cities.
