- Uber is launching Uber Shuttle bus service to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport. The low-cost option will initially charge riders just $10 each way and will not top $18.50, the company says. Service will begin in May.
Uber is expanding its options for people flying out of the Atlanta airport.
The ride-share service will launch its Uber Shuttle service at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in May. This follows the introduction of routes to JFK and LaGuardia airports in New York City some time ago.
The shuttle will be considerably cheaper than a solo Uber. Early riders of the shuttle will pay just $10 to get to the airport. That price will increase, the company said, but will never be more than $18.50. Passengers will be able to book up to five seats one week before their departure.
The shuttle will run every 30 minutes from 6:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. Uber has not yet said where the shuttle will stop, however. (Passengers can also take the shuttle back to wherever those locations will be when they return home.)
The focus on Atlanta travelers comes as Uber and Delta Air Lines kick off their previously announced ride-share partnership. Beginning today, Delta Sky Miles members will be able to early points for every dollar spent on Uber Eats orders, Ubers to the airport and premium and/or reserve trips.
Later this year, SkyMiles members who log in to Delta Sync Wi-Fi will receive a special offer for reserving an Uber ride when they land.
“Our new partnership with Uber not only expands the value of loyalty and makes it easier than ever for our Members to get rewarded,” Prashant Sharma, vice president of loyalty at Delta, said in a statement.
