Uber adds "Make My Train" Feature

Written By Cameron Kerr
 

Uber has added a new feature that allows users to more easily use the ride hailing app to connect their trip to a train ride. “Make My Train” allows users to see real time train schedules and line information from within the Uber app. When a user selects a train station as their destination, Uber will allow the user to select the time and route that they are connecting to. This will optimize the scheduling of an Uber ride so the drop off time allows the user to make their train.

The “Make My Train” feature launched last week in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area allowing users in those areas to connect to Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Caltrain routes respectively.

This is a feature that compliments Uber’s public transit offerings. Last year, Uber began offering real time public transportation data and fare purchasing from inside its app in Denver. Public transportation info is now available across 15 cities on the Uber platform.
