Uber has joined up with Thames Clippers for the launch of its new service Uber Boat. The service, which commences in London on Monday, will allow users to purchase tickets for Thames Clippers boats in advance through the Uber app and then use QR technology to board. The payment will be processed using Uber account details. Passengers will be able to use the service across a fleet of 20 boats on the River Thames, with departures from 23 piers across London.
