Uber offers new feature to travel with pets (ASL – 10.10.19)

Transcript

Uber is offering a new feature for people who want to take a ride with their pets.

The pilot program is called Uber pets.

Uber says riders who use the feature can bring any household pet with them on the trip.

There is a surcharge for the service, anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars.

Drivers can opt in and out of the feature.

Uber says this is only for non-service animals.

Riders will not be charged for having a service animal.

The feature kicks off on October 16 but for now it is only being offered in a little more than half dozen cities.

The cities are Phoenix, Denver, Austin, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Tampa Bay, Nashville and Philadelphia.
