Uber is stepping up its game with a slew of new services and partnerships aimed at making transportation more affordable and convenient. With inflation on the rise, consumers are cutting back on spending, and Uber is looking to incentivize riders with exciting promotions and innovative services.
Introducing Uber Shuttle: A Budget-Friendly Way to Travel
Company is rolling out a new service called Uber Shuttle, designed to offer a cost-effective solution for getting to big events like concerts or the airport. This service allows customers to reserve a seat on a local shuttle, which can hold between 14 to 55 people, up to seven days in advance. This communal travel option is significantly cheaper than a standard UberX ride.
According to company, the shuttle service will cost “a fraction of the price of an UberX.” For example, a concert shuttle in Miami this summer will range from $15 to $25 per seat, which is much more affordable than the usual fare during high-demand events. Initially, Uber Shuttle will be available in Miami, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Charlotte, with plans to expand further.
Scheduled UberX Rides: Plan Ahead and Save
As part of the new Go-Get 2024 launch, Uber is also introducing scheduled UberX rides. This feature allows commuters to book shared rides in advance, from as little as 10 minutes to as far out as 30 days ahead. By planning ahead, riders can lock in their fare and save an average of 25% compared to a regular UberX ride.
