With the ongoing discussion on ridesharing, it’s time for you to take a ride and decide for yourself what the future of transport should be.



Whether you’re working in the CBD, catching a game at Adelaide Oval or grabbing a bite to eat at Henley Beach – getting around Adelaide just got a whole lot easier!

From midday today, Adelaideans will have more choice when they open the Uber app with the introduction of uberX ridesharing. uberX is safe, reliable, affordable and accessible.

Evolving the way Adelaide moves

As the nation’s fifth largest city stretching over 100km from North to South, getting around Adelaide isn’t easy.

In a city struggling with urban sprawl, a car or taxi is the only way to access certain suburbs. And for most residents, getting a bus or train isn’t the most convenient option, and getting a taxi is simply unaffordable.

So whether it’s getting to work in the outer suburbs or dinner in Rundle St, most residents have come to rely on their car to get them from A to B.

From today, Adelaide has an exciting new transport option.

Now any Uber rider can push a button and get a ride in minutes, and as we have seen in 400 cities around the world, this will transform the way Adelaide moves.

For suburbs like Mawson Lakes, for example, ridesharing opens up exciting new possibilities for residents and visitors alike. Heading into the CBD for a meal or glass of wine is now an even more appealing option; commuters can choose whether to leave their car at home or share a ride; and small businesses can open up without worrying about their proximity to transport hubs or parking spaces.

This will have many positive effects on issues cities such as Adelaide have been grappling with for years. Issues such as drinking-driving; access to flexible work for those that need it; urban regeneration and congestion.

In a city faced with an uncertain future, we believe that ridesharing will be a positive for Adelaideans and the local economy, and will contribute to make Adelaide a more liveable, economically vibrant and better connected place to be.

Uber on!
