Google Maps app users in Dublin now have the added option of booking an Uber limousine to its choice of travel options. Google already provides information on routes and fare through Dublin Bus and Dart services as well as travel times for walking.
The option will only be visible existing Uber users. A single tap on the Uber card jumps the user into the app and sets the destination address, which is then passed on to the UberBlack driver upon pickup.
Kieran Harte, Ireland general manager, Uber, said: “Uber strives to give people the choice to pick the best transport option for them at that moment, wherever they’re going. Through this integration with Google Maps, users can see how a journey with Uber stacks up against grabbing the Dart or a bus.”
