Because riding in a car piloted by a complete stranger whose incentive is to get you from point A to B as quickly as possible wasn’t scary enough already, there’s this:
UberMOTO, now accepting passengers in Bangkok.
The service — which just began operating in the city’s central Sathorn, Siam and Silom neighborhoods and will strive to relieve the 120-minute average commute time — marks the first time Uber has offered rides on motorbikes and could be a sign of things to come.
The company expects demand to be “off the charts” for its pilot program and says it will be expanding to more areas where dense traffic has put a chokehold on daily commute times. Drivers will be required to provide passengers with a helmet and Uber standards like live GPS tracking, two-way feedback and the ability to share trip details with family and friends.
Just remember: every driver has a five-star rating until the day they don’t.
Have fun!
