At Frankfurt Airport, Uber users are now to start their journey in a special pick-up zone. The US company is working directly with Fraport on this.

Frankfurt - At home in California, Uber has long been familiar with the pick-up zone at the airport. For example, if you land in Los Angeles and want to continue by cab, you first have to squeeze into a shuttle bus that takes passengers to a large parking lot. Uber and the like are not even allowed to stop in front of the LAX exit. In the so-called "pick-up zone", one cab driver after the next then drives to his employer's stop. From there, the journey can continue in a relaxed manner.

Now the pick-up zone is also coming to Germany. Uber is launching its first collaboration with Fraport, the operator of Frankfurt Airport. The car rental company from the USA has now announced this in a press release. The aim is to make arrival and departure as easy and convenient as possible for travelers.

New at Frankfurt Airport: Uber gets its own pick-up zone

At Germany's largest airport, users of the Uber app will now benefit from a new, special arrival and pick-up area at Terminal 1. "In the specially designated area in parking lot P31 at Frankfurt Airport, they can wait for their cab or rental car ride arranged via the Uber app," the company announced. "This not only makes it easier for passengers and drivers to meet, thus improving the user experience, but also makes processes more efficient." Users can also call up directions in the Uber app.

"We look forward to further improving the travel experience in Frankfurt too. This will ensure a stress-free start to your vacation or business trip and longer-lasting relaxation on your return. We are also planning to enter into partnerships with other airport operators in Germany in the future," said Christoph Weigler, Head of Uber Germany. (csa/pm)

Since I have been toying with the idea of $VICI (-0,93 %) out of the portfolio and replace it with $UBER (-2,46 %) I finally made the trade today. The fact that Bill Ackman has now also built up a larger Uber position has reinforced my analysis.

I think the future for Uber as an aggregator in the transportation and delivery service sector is greener than it is estimated today and I do not believe that self-driving cars (Waymo, Tesla) will permanently weaken Uber's business and platform.

I have also trimmed my $AXP (-0,8 %) trimmed my position and invested the capital in Uber.

$UBER (-2,46 %) Only 2 days is a good thing for me as a swing trader. Such a short holding period is rather rare, but as exaggerated as the dip was the day before yesterday, I also see today as exaggerated.

In the long term, however, I see Uber as a good stock and will certainly get back in.

$UBER (-2,46 %)

He started buying in January and now owns 30.3 million shares.

The position is currently worth 2.27 billion dollars 🚀

$TSLA (-7,02 %)
$GOOGL (-0,76 %)
$GOOG (-0,8 %)

$UBER (-2,46 %) dipped briefly to -9% after the figures - there were good prices at prime time.

I was also lucky enough to have had nothing better to do between 20:00 and 21:00 than follow the US stock market.

I was also able to pick up 80 shares at €61😅

Let's see if the gap from October is closed today🧐

We seized the opportunity and bought at the right time, as we saw today.
