Ride-booking service Uber has launched dockless JUMP e-scooters in DC this week.
Uber acquired JUMP, a bikeshare company, in May last year as it increasingly seeks to expand its footprint in public transit market place.
According to an official press release by Uber, “Washington, D.C. residents can easily live without a car by taking advantage of a wide variety of transportation options, from scooters to rideshare and beyond, requested right from the Uber app. Today’s launch gets us closer to that vision by giving people in D.C. an affordable, environmentally friendly way to get from point A to point B.”
