Uber has arrived in Edinburgh! Have you heard of Uber? Well for those who haven't then you simply must check this out!
Their website states;
"Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From our founding in 2009 to our launches in hundreds of cities today, Uber's rapidly expanding global presence continues to bring people and their cities closer."
This Uber cheap (see what I did there?) cab company is working in 64 countries, and finally at last reaching us in Bonnie Scotland. I used the company a lot whilst living in New York and luckily it launched on the eve of Christian McLeod show in Glasgow, the difference in price for a cab back to Edinburgh was quite considerable, we were quoted £125 and Uber only charged us £60. Winner!
Last night it launched in Edinburgh and I for one am a happy little Bunny... or Bear even!
It is a simple app where your phones GPS system will pick up where you are then you add your chosen destination and then hit 'get fare estimate' and Boom! Simple as that, you can even see you little car on your Uber app get closer to you on you map, with updated times of arrival and your drivers name, picture and license plate number. No cash needs to exchange as Uber will deduct the fair once you have reached your destination from either your paypal or you bank account. Perfect!
