Pedicabs return to the Uber system for a third year cause, let’s be honest, that’s really the only Austin way to travel. In addition, we’ve partnered with Samsung to provide all Samsung Galaxy owners with FREE pedicab rides throughout interactive! We’re also excited to announce the release of Uber 2.0 on Android with SXSW attendees getting the first chance to take the new app for a spin. Pedicab Details:

UberLUX is out of the Stable

UBERx: FREE to try in Austin!
Uber wouldn’t be Uber without choice – so we’re offering complimentary UBERx rides through March 13th – mid-range vehicles driven by locals for locals. Getting a ride is as simple as firing up the Uber app and toggling your car selector over to UBERx. We’ve also partnered with Tesla to showcase their new Model S.
