In London you travel on the Thames, with Uber

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 04 - Londoners begin to return to work after the long lockdown and Uber launches its 'taxi on the river' service that will allow you to cross the city avoiding buses and the underground: in partnership with ThamesClippers, former transport concessionaire along the Thames, the new service had been announced at the beginning of July and is now on the way, for commuters in the ever bustling British capital held in breath by the covid, but also for tourists and visitors with a journey that touches different areas-and different souls- of the city, from Putney to the iconic BatterseaPower Station, but also Blackfriars and Canary Wharf or Greenwich.
    The payment method is that launched by Uber for the taxi service, with the purchase of tickets via the app and access through the Uber account, but there will also remain the possibility of using the Thames Clippers app, which operates the service for all purposes, as well as the Oyster Card or the London public transport pass card.
    More than 4 million people use the Tamigiper every year to move around the city and 40% said they were determined to further increase the use of transport along the river.
   "With the return of Londoners to work and the resumption of security in the city, they will have the opportunity to book their travels both along the river and on the road through the Uber app," said Jamie Heywood, Uber's deneral manager for Europe and north eastern, explaining: "We must ensure that they do not make full use of their cars in response to the crisis. For his part, Sean Collins, chief executive of Thames Clipper, noted that this new partnership reflects" the rebirth of the river ", pointing out the enthusiasm that" in the new world we are able to offer a new way of getting around the capital ".
