Since its emergence in the market a little over 10 years ago, Uber has been a mobility platform, and today it is very common (and above all easy) to take our phone, open the application and request an Uber; But let's face it, there are times that the best alternative to go from one place to another is not always the car. That is why the company has announced the arrival of Uber Transit to Mexico City.

And what is Uber Transit?

No, it is not an extra application, but the integration to its platform of the various public transport services that work in Mexico City: Metro, Metrobús, Mexibus, etc., giving us more options to move from one place to another.

And how it works?

Uber Transit will be automatically deployed in the UBER application (as of today and gradually) to all users of Mexico City and the conurbation area, so that whenever they wish to make a trip from one place to another, it will display a menu with options to choose your transport method, which can be from an Uber X, through the entire range of vehicles, to Uber Transit, with detailed walking routes, which truck route or subway line to take, what season to get off, etc. In addition to offering complementary transport options on the map, such as the JUMP bicycle network in areas where such service is available.

But this is not all because Uber Transit also reaches various cities on the planet, (such as London, Paris, Denver or San Francisco) thus facilitating the transfer options when you are traveling. Even in some cities like Denver, you can buy metro and bus tickets directly at the UBER application, a goal that would be wonderful to see in our country, but that would also require a good modernization in the payment systems of our systems. transport.
