Ride-hailing services such as Uber and Bolt have grown into a practical alternative to car ownership and public transport in the UK, offering on-demand convenience for commuters, night-time travellers, and those in areas with limited transit options. Understanding how frequently different groups use these services helps operators and urban planners allocate supply, target promotions, and design loyalty programmes more effectively. Gender plays a notable role in shaping usage patterns, and the data from this survey points to meaningful differences between male and female riders in the UK market heading into 2026.
