Yes. And they accept cryptocurrency natively (without using gift cards), extremely practical for believers in the space.

Uber also owns a significant share of Grab.

More crucial to their success was that Grab accepts cash payments. This alone was the reason why Grab succeeded and Uber failed in SEA.

Uber always had cash options in SEA and still does in countries it continues to operate in, like India .

Each country has and always has a lot autonomy on features and services offered . Just their booking methods in different airports can have lot of variation , OTP workflows in geos with high no show rates , transportation options like motorcycles or Tuk tuk or public transit integration all are unique to many locations

Consolidation and exits happened for variety of reasons i strongly doubt it was ever because of product features or lack thereof

Interesting because when I traveled in India they had cash as an option for Uber. I didn’t try UberEats though.
