TYLER — Uber officially launched in Tyler Thursday. To celebrate the launch, Uber will be offering free rides through Sunday, September 25. Uber is a smartphone app that connects riders and drivers at the touch of a button. Councilman John Nix welcomed Uber to town as Rider Zero. “Residents, students, and visitors in Tyler can now request a ride or make money – all at the tap of a button,” said Beth Huddleston, Uber General Manager. “Whether folks are headed to school, work or dinner with friends, Uber offers direct access to an affordable and convenient way to get around town.” The launch of Uber in Tyler comes after the City Council voted to adopt modern ridesharing regulations on August 24.
New users can download the free smartphone app and enter their payment information at https://www.uber.com From September 22-25, riders will enjoy free rides on trips that start and end in Tyler (up $25 off five rides).
