Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities designed for commuters

TechCrunch @techcrunch.com Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities designed for commuters


Ride-hail and delivery giant Uber is introducing cheap, fixed-route rides along busy corridors during weekday commute hours in major U.S. cities — one solution to a world that feels, for most people, more expensive every day.

Ride-hail and delivery giant Uber is introducing cheap, fixed-route rides along busy corridors during weekday commute hours in major U.S. cities — one solution to a world that feels, for most people, more expensive every day.

The commuter shuttles will drive between pre-set stops every 20 minutes, according to Sachin Kansal, Uber's chief product officer. He noted that there will be dozens of routes in each launch city — like between Williamsburg and Midtown in NYC. The routes, which are selected based on Uber's extensive data on popular travel patterns, might have one or two additional stops to pick up other passengers. To start, riders will only ever have to share the route with up to two other co-riders.

Riders can book a seat anywhere from seven days to 10 minutes before a scheduled pickup, and the app will provide them with turn-by-turn directions to get them from their house to the corner where they'll be picked up.

As irritating as the litter is, the first place my mind went to was whether there was a corresponding increase in DUIs. I'd rather ban nips altogether

Like I've NEVER been this enraged by a software update before. I didn't know I had it in me.

Who the actual hell thought this new Android update was a good idea? I've had it for 3 hours and I'm so close to just throwing my phone in the ocean and going to the Apple store

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

As we speak NABET-CWA Local 18 is in negotiations with ABC6 management for our first contract, because we know it's better on the other side. Union forever! Solidarity forever!
