The popular ride0sharing Uber app has expanded in San Marcos. Students and residents are using the mobile app to secure their safety. Vianei Garcia has more in this Bobcat Update.

Sit back, relax and go anywhere you want. Uber allows consumers with smart phones to submit a trip request at their fingertips.

It's convenient to just pull out your phone and have someone arrive within minutes.
San Marcos residents use the app to get to work, get picked up from the river and even from an outing at the square.

Floating the river there was no way back. Convenience aftera party.
Being an on-demand service means not having to call ahead of time to make a reservation or even waiting in taxi lines. The app makes it easy to set your pickup location on the map.

If I have to be at work at 9 in the morning, I just setup my location and the Uber is right outside. It's pretty cool.
With the app, you can compare rates for different Uber options. At the end of the ride, the customer's credit card is automatically charged/billed followed by a receipt sent to their email.
SB Karina Lopez
Easy way to get around, cheaper than taxi.
Also, in May 2015, Uber updated its app to include accommodations for drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
If you want a ride that is cashless, convenient and a tap away, you can visit uber.com to sign up. For Bobcat Update, I'm Vianei Garcia.
