Uber has begun testing a subscription pass that encompasses all of its services, including Uber eats, Rides, as well as bikes and scooters. Uber has rolled out pilot programs to San Francisco and Chicago. The company has slightly different testing pools in the two cities, in order to properly evaluate the program. The subscription pass offers discounted rides, as well as free delivery from Uber Eats and free bike and scooter riders. The subscription is offered at a $24.99 per month price point.
Uber is also testing a reduced price subscription in other locations, which includes free Uber Eats delivery for orders over a cutoff and discounted rides.
