The Uber team in San Francisco would like to wish you a Happy Lunar New Year!
This year, we celebrated Lunar New Year with our driver-partners at New Asia Restaurant in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It was an opportunity to say thank you to the people who help move our city, and bring reliable transportation to everyone, everywhere.
More than 120 of our driver-partners heard from Uber’s CTO, Thuan Pham, and Uber driver-partner, Genghis Khan. Thuan and Genghis share a similar history, both Vietnamese refugees now both working in the tech industry in San Francisco.
"I am really happy. I hope Uber can host more events like this, whether it’s Chinese or other countries’ festivals, so that we drivers can have more opportunities to connect with each other."
– Xianjing, SF driver-partner
"I feel like I am in a family. I have not felt the Chinese New Year celebration atmosphere after I came to the US. But now all of a sudden, I feel the celebratory mood."
– Kuan, SF driver-partner
We also have a special Lunar New Year message from Uber teams around the world:
