In partnership with Uber, the City of Kyle announced the launch of a $3.14 city-subsidized rideshare program for all residents and visitors.
Originally set to launch in August, users can now travel within city limits via an Uber ride for an initial $3.14 fee. Subsidizing up to $10 per ride, the program will provide riders a monthly voucher valid for eight one-way trips through the city’s mobile app.
“This is a program that everybody can use,” Mayor Pro Tem Rick Koch said. “It’s adopting something that the world already uses. Over the years we’ve been looking for a way to provide citywide transportation that was both cost effective and convenient for residents and visitors. It just makes great financial sense for us to basically embrace technology and find the most value for our dollar.”
