[Nfbk] Uber is Launching in Louisville

[Corbb O'Connor]

In case y'all missed the WFPL story on this, there's no set date for when the service will launch. The reason we know Uber is thinking about launching here is because they're hiring an Associate General Manager for Louisville, who will be based at the company's headquarters in Chicago and work with the launch team to find drivers. Plus, they have to find, contract, and train the drivers. So, it'll be a few months at the earliest...oh, and all of this is unconfirmed by Uber's PR folks!

The private car service is coming to town. You reserve a car via an accessible app for your smartphone. 
 
View rates for your city in the app. You can also enter your pickup and drop-off locations to get a fare quote for your trip.


CASHLESS & CONVENIENT. 
You don't need cash when you ride with Uber. Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file – no need to tip. We’ll also e-mail you a receipt.


SPLIT YOUR FARE. 
Simplify your life and your fractions. Invite your friends to split the fare. If your friends opt in, each person’s credit card will be charged equally. No more pay-me-backs or IOUs.


RELIABLE PICKUPS. 
When you request a ride, we’ll find a driver and let you track their location on the map. Feel free to put away your phone – we’ll text you when your ride arrives. Your driver’s name and car details appear in the app, and you can message or call if you need to.  


FEEDBACK MATTERS. 
Drivers not only meet Uber’s standards, they meet your standards. After your trip, you can rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your driver.
