Cambridge, with its bygone charm, has long been a favoured staycation destination for Londoners looking to spend a leisurely afternoon punting along the River Cam.
This August bank holiday weekend, Uber has launched Uber Boat for the first time in Cambridge, meaning prospective riders can book a punting trip through the ride share app.
With boats and chauffeurs provided by Tyrrell’s Punting Cambridge and Cambridge Punters, the 40-minute punting trips will be available to book on August 22, 23 and 24 and will cost £10 a trip for up to eight passengers.
Uber Boat is the latest expansion from Uber this year, as it added a public transport option in April and launched its electric JUMP bicycles in London in May.
Fred Jones, Head of New Mobility at Uber, said: “This year has been all about expanding the many ways you can travel using the Uber app – whether it’s in a car, on the tube or with a JUMP bike. What better way to finish the summer than punting boats, a classic English pastime, booked through Uber app.”
Happy punting!
