Apply to enjoy up to ten Assist journey from Uber

Uber Hong Kong is committed to providing convenient and reliable point to point transportation to its users. This year’s Hong Kong Senior Citizen Day is the perfect time to give back, offering elderlies a convenient and discounted ride at the push of a button. To support Senior Citizen Day’s theme of the year – “Caring for the Elderly (全城護老),” – Uber Hong Kong is excited to launch “Uber With You” Community Program 2.0. This Program aims  to create a barrier-free community and encourage elderlies and persons with disabilities to enjoy being out and about despite physical constraints. Starting from November 1, 2018, to January 31, 2019, Senior Citizen Card and Registration Card for People with Disabilities holders can redeem ten HK$100 off Assist trips from Uber.

Uber Hong Kong launched Assist in 2017 to provide special-care rides for elderlies,  the disabled and expectant mothers. Uber then launched “Uber With You” Community Program this April to provide non-profit organisations in Hong Kong with complimentary Assist rides for their beneficiaries. To date, more than 6,000 Assist trips have been completed on the platform, offering a reliable and safe commute for those in need.

All Assist driver-partners have received professional training from Bamboos Professional Nursing Education, Silence, and Hong Kong Blind Union, equipping driver-partners with basic sign language knowledge, skills required to assist disabled riders to board vehicles and handle foldable wheelchairs. All training and courses are endorsed by the Hong Kong Health Care Federation.
