Your next Uber ride in DC might actually be in a taxi
Uber is offering a partnership with D.C. taxi drivers to provide them with 100% access to Uber trip referrals.
D.C. taxi drivers are being notified of the program and details about how to sign up. Once a driver is activated, they will be eligible to receive and respond to Uber pickup requests.
The program applies to ride hailing for a Uber X. It means Uber customers might be picked up by a taxi driver if they are nearby. Riders will pay the Uber X rate and get upfront pricing in the Uber app. They will also be notified in the app if they have been matched with a taxi and have the option to be re-matched with a driver who is not a taxi or to cancel their ride.
