Uber launches rideshare service in Fort St. John

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Uber is now officially available in Fort St. John and many other communities across the province.

The ridesharing service announced plans to expand its operations in B.C. in November of last year, offering a $500 incentive to new drivers who complete 10 trips within their first four weeks.

It announced the expansion was officially complete in a May 28th press release, saying ride availability will vary between communities depending on the number of drivers who have signed up.

Energeticcity.ca has confirmed rides are available in Fort St. John as of May 28th.

“As we head into a busy summer season, we are excited to bring rideshare to more British Columbians,” said Uber Canada general manager Michael van Hemmen. 

“Residents and visitors alike now have a safe, affordable and reliable option to help get them where they need to go, when they need to, and for those with a safe driving record, a flexible opportunity to earn money on their own time.”

In an effort to increase the number of rides available to customers, Uber is continuing to offer the $500 incentive to new drivers. To learn more, visit Uber’s website.
