Uber Expands in Rural Japan

Uber, a big ride-sharing company, is trying to grow in Japan, especially in smaller towns.

Japan has strict rules, but recently, some areas like Kaga have allowed Uber to operate.

The town of Kaga has fewer people and more elderly residents who need transportation.

Uber hopes to help by providing more ride options.

The CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, visited Kaga to see how the service is working.

The town's mayor and some residents are happy with Uber, but many older people are not used to using smartphone apps.

Uber and local officials are working to teach people how to use the service.
