The Corporate Slogs

The Corporate Slogs are overworked CBD drones who need a swift ride as they make their way to yet another client meeting or, if they’re lucky enough, post-work happy hours.

Spot them They choose uberPOOL as a financially savvy option that offers respite from the jostling crowd. Plus, hopping with other movers-and-shakers might just be their golden ticket to clinching that next big client.

Gym Junkie

They’re usually found decked out in sports gear, comparing protein powder diets and HIIT programmes with their bros. And Gym Junkies have two modes: hardcore – and harder-core.

Spot them An uberPOOL to the gym, please. You’ll be able to spot these guys with their chiselled arms. Speak to them about their routine and you just might find yourself with a new personal trainer.

The Clubbers

These club kids, like vampires, only emerge after dusk and are always up for the best night ever (again). These well-dressed ravers arrive as a posse, too, because #squadgoals.

Spot them These party people have got it down to an art: they go from club to home in the shortest time possible. What better way to fit the entire entourage and meet like-minded party fiends than with uberPOOL?

The Shopaholic

With an ensemble of designer labels and her hair styled to perfection, the Shopaholic looks as though she hopped straight off the runway. It’s a no-brainer why she takes an Uber – to prevent her locks from frizzing up, or avert a makeup melt-down in this heat.

Spot them She is usually rushing to meet friends at the mall. To make up for dropping a wad of cash on that ‘It’ bag, she might grace the back seat of an uberPOOL to take her mountain of shopping bags home in ease. Join her – she has the scoop on the best deals in town.

The Hippie Traveller

The Hippie Traveller is the tourist who dreams of exploring every nook and cranny of the city – all on a tight budget and timeline. To achieve this ambitious task, they’ll be armed with Google Maps, along with a mile-long list of places to go.

Spot them To save their Ishaks, Hippie Travellers will go for an uberPOOL ride from the airport to the hardest-to-find back alley cafés. They’ll also jump at the opportunity to meet locals in a fellow Uber for some insider tips on Singapore.

The Lovebirds

What sets the Lovebirds apart from the crowd are the starry eyes often spotted on them. They’ll call each other by saccharine pet names, too, as they coo in delight over the latest romantic hotspots bookmarked for date nights.

Spot them The Lovebirds want to sashay in style to that exclusive fine dining restaurant. But not all of us can own Ferraris, so to make up for the pricey meal ahead, they’d opt for uberPOOL. If they’re lucky, perhaps they’ll meet a few double-date potentials along the way for their next couples’ trip.

Know your neighbours better this National Day by taking an uberPOOL ride and enjoy great savings. Use the promo code ‘UBERTIMEOUTSG’ for $15 off your ride. For first-time users only.
