The ride-hailing giant first debuted a service called Ride Pass back in 2018, allowing riders to pay $15 per month to lock in a set price for any ride they take… This culminated last year in the all-encompassing Uber Pass that offers discounts on rides, food delivery, and micromobility (bikes and scooters)…
Uber has also settled on a final iteration of its monthly subscription. For $25 per month, customers get 10% off UberX, XL, and Comfort rides and 15% off Black, SUV, and Premier rides. They also get 5% off Uber Eats orders over $15 and free delivery [plus] free delivery on grocery orders over $40.
Uber appears to have removed Uber Pool from the monthly plan, and it no longer offers free Jump bikes and scooters rides of up to 30 minutes a day. Given that ride-sharing is not currently advised in the U.S. due to social distancing measures and Uber transferred ownership of Jump to Lime back in May, it probably makes sense[.]
