Getting to any airport in the New York City area is always one of two things (if not both): extremely inconvenient and prohibitively expensive.
To save us some sanity this summer, Uber and Live Nation teamed up to create a shuttle service that will make getting to and leaving airports a lot cheaper. Bonus points: the new service will also help you get to concert venues faster.
RECOMMENDED: The AirTrain to JFK might be free to ride this summer
Although the full list of participating venues, hotels and airports hasn't been announced yet, this is how the shuttle service will work: users will get to reserve a seat on any shuttle using the Uber app. You’ll be sharing the shuttle with other passengers who are headed in the same direction, much as you would in a regular Uber share, except in a larger vehicle.
The new initiative comes courtesy of rideshare company GO-GET 2024, which hopes to encourage people to have more face to face contact with each other by sharing rides. The driving philosophy behind the initiative is that, “being together is better for your health – and your wallet.”
The service will be available at select cities across the country. So far, Uber has only confirmed partners in Miami, including Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, Formula One Crypto.com, Miami Grand Prix and others.
Sure, we all love to make new friends and all, but the best part of this program is that, if executed properly, it will make rides significantly less expensive. Woohoo!
