Uber's new big update lets you book party buses, electric vehicles, and more here's what's new

Features announced during the virtual Go/Get event include:

Uber is working to become a "super app" to diversify its offerings, potentially helping it achieve long-term profitability. For example, this summer, the company expanded its UK application to include train, bus, plane, and rental cars.

Here are the leading suggestions

About travel

Uber will allow users to book rides for any part of their route in the center of the app. Users first link their Gmail account to the app, then Uber downloads booking information and organizes flight, hotel, and restaurant schedules in one place for a "hassle-free travel experience." In addition, people who book with Uber Travel receive 10% cashback in Uber for every ride booked. The feature will be released in the United States on Monday and Canada in the coming weeks.

Uber is expanding its mobility through partnerships with US highways. The company will allow people to book large vehicles such as party buses, passenger vans, or buses directly on the app at an upfront price.

Uber has made a global commitment to become a zero-emissions mobility platform by 2040, but it needs to attract drivers. So the company announced a new in-app system for motorists seeking more information about electric vehicles. EV Hub is billed as a one-stop-shop where they (drivers) can get information and incentives to join the electric revolution and even compare the costs of owning an EV versus a non-electric vehicle. Uber has also added a charging map to the Uber Driver app that shows you where the nearest electric car chargers are, how fast they charge, and how.
