Uber’s bookings hit an all-time high in the last three months as anxiety over Covid-19 eased and workers headed back to the office.

Passengers took a total of 1.87bn trips on Uber during the spring and early summer, the company reported on Tuesday, a 24% increase compared with the same time last year. That’s about 21m trips a day, on average.
