[Nfbk] Uber is Launching in Louisville

[Rick Roderick]

I just went to the website and found nothing, but this is not surprising.
Usually, things are not announced until they are ready.

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.
