With the news that Uber is potentially leaving Quebec because of a disagreement between them and the provincial government over rules for ride sharing companies, Concur took a look at their data and found that Uber had a huge amount of growth with business travellers to the province earlier this year.
As it turns out, business travelers to Quebec are going to miss Uber when it goes. Concur, which represents 57 per cent of the global business travel and expense management industry, found that businesses travellers have been increasing their use of Uber in Quebec in the first half of the year, demonstrating that consumer habits are bleeding into corporate travel preferences.
Concur compared Uber usage among business travellers from Q1 2017 to Q2 2017, finding:
- Uber transactions among business travelers in Quebec are up 37.4 per cent quarter over quarter.
- Users expensing Uber in Quebec are up 45.7 per cent.
- Spend on Uber in Quebec is up 42.9 per cent.
- Companies with employees expensing Uber rides in Quebec are up 33.1 per cent.
Will this sort of data help get the two sides in this dispute closer together? We’ll have to see. October 14th is the date that Uber plans to exit the province if they can’t come to an agreement.
