Uber’s new feature expands urban mobility options; find out more

Uber arrived in Brazil with the aim of providing residents of the country’s major cities with private access to transportation. With this, it aimed to be a safer and higher-quality option for people to get around.

Its business model is quite similar to the traditional taxi service, but it has a more accessible and easy-to-access proposal, since you can order the service through a specific mobile application.

That said, it is time to inform you that a great innovation is about to arrive for the platform’s users. And that is exactly what we will discuss in this article.

Unique and sustainable opportunity

Apparently, the Uber decided to expand its services and offer users not only rides in vehicles, but also the possibility of living in a more sustainable way.

So, they recently announced that app users will be able to request bike rentals through the platform. Yes, you read that right!

From now on, those who want to go for a ride and enjoy the scenery in a more environmentally friendly way, instead of using polluting vehicles, will be able to request a bicycle. This is because Uber has partnered with Tembici and Banco Itaú to provide this new service.

However, it is important to note that this option is only available to users residing in Recife. The location was chosen as the headquarters for the project’s first experience.

This initiative will certainly generate several benefits, especially with regard to heavy traffic in large metropolitan areas such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In addition, the option of cycling will contribute significantly to the reduction of polluting gases in the atmosphere.

It is worth remembering that, when requesting a bicycle, the user will need to go to the nearest point and scan the QR Code to access the new feature.

Are you excited to take advantage of this new option? This is undoubtedly a great initiative by the company, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and conscious urban mobility.
