Uber Offers $1,000 Incentive to Ditch Personal Cars for Five Weeks
The 'One Less Car' initiative aims to promote alternative transportation and reduce emissions in select North American cities.
- Participants in seven cities will receive credits for rideshare, public transit, and car rentals.
- The program includes $500 in Uber credits, $300 for public transit, and $200 for car rentals.
- Uber previously ran a similar trial in Australia, leading to increased use of walking, cycling, and public transport.
- The initiative targets cities with high return-to-office rates and aims to demonstrate the cost savings of a car-light lifestyle.
- Participants are required to document their transportation habits and experiences throughout the trial.
