Overall, the countries that clocked the most Uber mileage were the US, Brazil and India.

Uber also looked at the most popular Eats orders placed in 2018 to deliver a set of predictions on the foods it expects will trend in 2019.

Given the surge in searches for dishes made with tofu, seitan, bee pollen and edible flowers, Uber predicts that clean eating and plant-based diets will gain even more momentum in 2019. Likewise, the popularity of kimchi and kombucha orders signal a rising affinity for fermented foods, Uber says, while pea milk is predicted to knock oat and almond milk off their perch of popularity.
