uber macau launches seven-seater service

Uber, the on-demand platform and mobile app that connects riders and drivers, announced yesterday the launch of its new seven-seater service. The service offers larger cars such as Toyota Alphards, which can accommodate up to six passengers, as well as baggage and other bulky items.
“We’ve received a ton of feedback from riders, particularly those with families, […] we’re launching this new seven-seater service in response to that rider feedback,” says Tracy Lou Walsh, general manager of Uber Macau.
The new seven-seater service will join the platform’s two other services: uberX, the platform’s lower-cost option, and the premium UberBLACK, which offers luxury vehicles.
Tourists and visitors from over 52 countries have already taken Uber rides in the city, with the average wait time for rides now under five minutes, according to a statement.
