The Benefits of Uber Green

As part of Uber’s global efforts to switch to a fully-electric fleet by 2040, Uber has launched their Uber Green service in Australia, starting 8th June 2023.

With Uber Green, passengers can request a ride in an electric or hybrid vehicle currently for the same price as an UberX ride.

This initiative is set to encourage more drivers to switch to electric and hybrid vehicles. With the launch of Uber Green and other Uber incentives for drivers, this figure is expected to grow in the following period, making sustainable green rides in Australia more accessible than ever before.
