Uber Rolling Out Scheduled Rides In Seattle (geekwire.com)

Posted by msmash on from the more-convenient dept.

Scheduled rides are coming to Uber. The ride-hailing announced on Thursday that users in Seattle can now schedule a pickup request as far out as 30 days in advance. GeekWire reports: The ride-sharing service said scheduling is a top-requested feature from business travelers and the company said priority access will be given to riders who have Business Profiles or are linked to their company's Uber account. Uber says it will bring it to other "major" cities soon.

    program will just send all the drivers a ride request 15 mins before your "scheduled" time

    Which is a dramatic improvement on Uber's current sending it only after you request the ride! Those fifteen minutes easily could save me waiting fifteen minutes for the uber driver.

    So.. yeah, even that is an improvement.
