Uber for trains" New feature allows Denver riders to book transit with app
In-app ticketing aims to make Uber a better last-mile solution With options to rent scooters and electric bikes via its Jump subsidiary, a ride with Uber no longer means getting into a car. Now, thanks to a new feature launching in Denver, it could also mean jumping on a train or bus.
Starting today, Uber?s Transit feature will allow Denver users to plan their trips with public transportation in mind, including paying for rides on buses and trains in-app. Tickets will cost the same via Uber as they would using other payment methods.
?For the first time ever, taking an Uber trip can mean taking public transit,? said David Reich, Uber?s head of transit, in a statement. ?With this step, we are moving closer to making Uber?s platform a one-stop shop for transportation access, from shared rides to buses and bikes.? Uber users in Denver will be able to select ?Transit? as an available transportation option, and then be able to plan their trip utilizing bus or light rail. The new feature will include real-time transit information for the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD), as well as step-by-step directions. Developed with technology from Masabi, a mobile ticketing service that began working with the ride-hailing giant last year, this new service will allow users to purchase and validate fare passes using a QR code from within the Uber app.
