Uber said Wednesday it plans to add mass transit, bike-sharing and other options to its mobile app, as it unveiled a vision for urban transport that goes well beyond its core ridesharing offer.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi presented the plans during a visit to Washington, where he said the ride-hailing pioneer would seek a more diversified model offering various transport options, including car rentals on a partner peer-to-peer service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00abMore and more, Uber is not just going to be just about taking a car, but is about moving from point A to point B in the best way,\u00bb Khosrowshahi told an event in the newly launched Uber driver center in the US capital.<\/p>\n

Khosrowshahi said the Uber app would start including locations for electric bikes from its newly acquired bike-sharing group Jump, which currently operates in Washington and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Uber also announced a partnership with the peer-to-peer car-sharing service Getaround to allow users to rent vehicles from individual owners, with a launch planned later this month in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The service will be labeled Uber Rent. \u00abYou can use your Uber app if you need a car and you want to drive yourself, if you need a car for an hour, a day,\u00bb the Uber chief said.<\/p>\n

For mass transit, the San Francisco startup said it would allow app users to see various options and would launch a partnership with e-ticketing service Masabi that would eventually allow the Uber app to be used instead of tickets or passes.<\/p>\n

Masabi has partnerships with transit systems in Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, as well as train and transit operators in Europe.<\/p>\n

Khosrowshahi said the new plans would help Uber offer solutions for an increasingly urban world population and reduce the need for car ownership.<\/p>\n

\u00abHaving a greater variety of transportation modes at your fingertips helps make it increasingly easy to live without a car,\u00bb he said.<\/p>\n

\u00abThat’s why we want to provide alternatives to personal car ownership by bringing together multiple modes of transportation right in our app.\u00bb<\/p>\n

– Autonomy still in view –<\/p>\n

\n

Khosrowshahi said the new strategy does not move Uber away from a future that includes autonomous vehicles, despite a fatal accident involving one of its cars last month in Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u00abAutonomy is part of the solution and long term it will be an important part of getting rid of car ownership,\u00bb he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The CEO said Uber was awaiting the results on an investigation into the March 18 accident that killed a pedestrian, but maintained that \u00abautonomous (driving) will be safer long term.\u00bb<\/p>\n

At the event, the company announced it would make aggregated traffic data to help planners in 12 new cities worldwide under its Uber Movement plan, to bring the total to 21.<\/p>\n

The new cites are Amsterdam, Bangalore, Brisbane, Cairo, Hyderabad, Melbourne, Mumbai, Nairobi, New Delhi, Perth, Pittsburgh and Toronto.<\/p>\n

Khosrowshahi took the helm at Uber in August after co-founder Travis Kalanick was forced out over a series of scandals and missteps, as well as allegations of unethical competition and a toxic work environment.<\/p>\n

Uber is the world’s most valuable venture-backed startup, with a valuation of some $70 billion, with Khosrowshahi planning a public share offering in 2019.<\/p>\n

The deal to acquire Jump Bikes, a bike-sharing startup offering dockless electric bicycles, was announced Monday.<\/p>\n

Jump and Uber were previously partners and 250 red bikes — which could be picked up or dropped off anywhere using built-in GPS — have been available through the Uber app in San Francisco since the start of the year.<\/p>\n

Uber plans to add more of the bikes soon in the Washington area, for a total of around 400.<\/p>\n
