With the holiday season in full swing, many travelers are struggling to find a reliable way to get from point A to point B. One transportation option that has been overlooked recently, mainly due to the pandemic, is public transportation. However, it may be time to take another look at utilizing those city subways and bus routes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To encourage riders to utilize public transportation\noptions, Uber has rolled out a new service, Uber Transit. Uber Transit allows\nriders to call and monitor public transportation options through the Uber app.\nThis new feature will allow users to quickly understand the public transit\nstops near them or on their selected route and will display real-time departure\nand arrival information, making taking a bus, subway, or train much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit\nof Uber Transit is there is no additional fees associated with using this service.\nThrough Uber transit you will have the ability to purchase transit tickets or\npasses directly through the app and it will cost the same as buying a ticket\ndirectly from the public transportation vendor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3\">How\nDoes Uber Transit Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the Uber\nTransit feature, open your Uber app and enter in your destination as you\nusually would for an Uber vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nyour results load, swipe up to expand your transportation options from just\nshowing the UberX and XL services. Upon swiping you will see public\ntransportation choices listed within the app if the service is available for\nyour route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is\nimportant to note that not all cities have integrated the ability to purchase Uber\nTransit bus passes or subway tickets directly through the Uber app. However,\neven if you cannot directly purchase your transit ticket, the option is still\nhelpful as it will give you the most up to date, real time information about\nbus schedules, train delays, or subway directions to help you plan your trip\nwith ease. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling has become quite tricky these days with Ubers and Taxis in short supply and car prices through the roof.
