Uber is now expanding its software as a service business with three new public transit partnerships. The popular ride-hailing company announced that it would be selling the software that powers its business to public transit agencies located in Denver, Colorado; Cecil County, Maryland; and Porterville, California.
Uber partners up with public transits
Denver s Regional Transportation District will begin using Uber s management software within this week to manage its fleet of wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
Cecil Transit and Porterville Transit will follow in the next few weeks. For a subscription fee, these transit agencies will be able to use the matching and marketplace technology that Uber uses to facilitate on-demand community rides using their own transit fleet.
