Uber Will Give Free Rides to Voters in Beirut on Elections Day

By Rami on April 10, 2018 in Transportation

During a meeting held at Beirut Digital District two weeks ago, Uber announced they will be providing voters in Beirut with free rides to and from their designated polling stations on May 6th.

I personally vote in Beirut and I know how crowded some areas can be on the elections day that you probably can’t even find a parking spot near your polling station. So it is good to have a reliable, safe and convenient alternative instead of driving your own car.

Uber will soon announce the promo code you can use for these free rides and I will make sure to share it on +961’s FB page as well as updating this post. It is worth noting though that it is only valid for polling stations within Beirut.

Uber launches in Beirut

By Rami on July 11, 2014 in Lebanon

Uber is a on-demand car service based in San Francisco, California that connects passengers with drivers in over 140 cities through a mobile app allowing customers to order a ride, track their driver’s location, and finally pay using their credit card.

They have already been operating in several cities across the middle east, and they just announced today on their blog expanding to Beirut with Pierre Rabbat and Daniella Rahme being the first two to try their service.

I downloaded their app (Available on both iOS and Android) and found it quite easy to use. You first need a couple of minutes to create an account and verify your mobile number and you’re good to go. To order a ride, you choose the vehicle type you want and mark the location from which the driver should expect picking you up from and wait. When you reach your destination, your credit card will be automatically billed with no need to tip or carry cash.

I haven’t tried using the service yet so I can’t tell how good are their fares compared to local taxi companies and shared taxi service. However, they’re offering a couple of promo codes one for $20 (“UberLovesBeirut”) and the other for $30 (“rabbat“) which I guess is enough for us to assess the service.

Thanks @Chemali
