"We're also using the Uber app to educate riders and drivers about city curfews and remind them Uber should be used for emergency purposes only during this time." In separate news, Uber is debuting a new option for $50 for an hour-long ride in some cities. The idea is to allow for multiple stops to help riders get essential tasks done, particularly as the pandemic remains ongoing, in another example of the company responding to drastically-changed world conditions. That feature will be available June 2 in Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Tacoma and Seattle. Uber and Lyft, along with other ride-hailing apps, have seen dramatic drop-offs in their main ridesharing revenue as the pandemic necessitated people staying indoors. But they have been able to innovate by implementing new features, as Lyft showed by rolling out a grocery delivery app.
