New site visualises how you rode with Uber in 2016
The folks at Uber have made "Year with Uber", a data visualisation site that offers a view of your Uber riding pattern for the year.
The site, which went live Thursday, asks you to log in, then presents you with information about your rides on the platform in 2016 via a click-through slideshow.
I drive most places, but occasionally hop on an Uber to work events if parking will be difficult. So Uber labelled me a "daytime traveller," and noted that my measly 14 rides in 2016 were "fewer and more far between than most."

If you ride with Uber often enough, the site will have additional nuggets to present, such as this one, for a user who hailed an Uber over Chinese New Year.
Alas, the site is only live for riders in Southeast Asian cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila -- for now. Uber says it'll roll out to more countries progressively.
Uber tussles with Singapore-headquartered Grab in for the bulk of the ride-hailing pie in Southeast Asia, across taxis, private cars and motorcycles.
While the two appear to be locked in a price war in some countries, Uber has the edge over Grab in terms of global reach.
