Presentation: Partnering with Uber, a win-win situation
Ridesharing services like Uber have experienced tremendous growth in recent years, bringing shared and on demand mobility not just to the core of urban areas, but increasingly to suburban areas and smaller towns and cities. This service tends to be available 24/7 and at relatively low cost. All of these attributes make Uber a strong potential partner for collaboration with traditional public transport operators. There is increasing evidence from a growing list of partnerships around the world that there is much to be gained from working together. This presentation will discuss experience to date and talk through options for the future.
