Wait they didn't have them in the US? We've had uber shuttles for years in India

If you click the article link, then use a process called "reading", you would see:

The company has already launched similar services abroad in Egypt, Nigeria, and India. Now it’s bringing the concept to the United States.

Edit: I misunderstood and assumed he hadn't read the article, which is entirely too common these days.

How about Uber Feet, where you pay to walk somewhere?

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, my nearest grocery store is a 1h15m walk or an 8 minute drive.

Just use uber sprint

This is what happens when you believe the private sector is the answer to everything. We reinvent the wheel one hundred times, and each time its more square than before.

Yet somehow more expensive.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which makes it better than a bus because then I don't have to sit next to poor people /s

[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 6 months ago

I have a friend who unironically believes in expensive services for this reason.
