UberASSIST: making Cape Town more accessible

03 April 2017 / South Africa

Moving around your city should be quick and convenient for all. At Uber, we strive to create transportation options that give equal opportunities and access to everyone.
This is why we’re excited to announce the launch of uberASSIST in Cape Town! UberASSIST has been designed to provide additional assistance for senior riders and riders with access needs. Driver-partners are specifically trained to assist riders when getting into a vehicle, and can accommodate folding wheelchairs, walkers and service animals.
