Uber offers public transit ticketing in San Antonio

Continuing its expansion into the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) space, Uber has partnered with VIA Metropolitan Transit and Masabi to offer public transit ticketing from within its app, for users in San Antonio, Texas.

Once riders have selected their route, they can choose to purchase transit passes using their existing payment profile. Once purchased, tickets are stored in the Uber app, and users can activate them when boarding the bus, even when they are offline (i.e., no cellular connectivity). Riders can simply scan their passes using the onboard validation devices.
