About one-third of Sydney residents are now using the ride-sharing service Uber, but there has been no drop in business for the city's taxis, a survey shows. Instead, Uber appears to be capitalising on increasing amount of trips taken in Sydney using so-called point-to-point transport.

Yes, Uber is exceptionally popular in Sydney and is now the dominant form of point-to-point transport in the city as of 2026. Data shows that over 40% of Sydney residents regularly use Uber, significantly outperforming traditional taxis in both usage and frequency. In 2026, the "Uber Pin" system at Sydney Airport (SYD) has become permanent, allowing passengers to request a ride and join a fast-moving queue to be matched with the next available driver, effectively mimicking a taxi rank for better efficiency. While other competitors like Didi and Ola are present, Uber’s integration with local transit apps and its wide range of services—including Uber Green for electric vehicles—make it the first choice for most locals and international visitors navigating the harbor city.
