Ubercade: Ride like a President
Written byGlobal Leaders and delegates alike have flocked to Brisbane this week for the G20 Summit. While Brisbane navigates road closures and the traffic-stopping motorcades of the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, it’s your turn to be on the other side of the glass!
TODAY from 10 am – 4 pm Uber is giving you the chance to Ride Like A President! Ride around Brisbane in your very own motorcade – the Ubercade!
What’s an Ubercade?
A line up of three black vehicles escorting an Uber rider: YOU! Heads will turn as you ride around town in a sleek sedan, flanked by two SUVs with your very own “Uber Secret Service Agents.”
The best part? Ubercade is FREE!
