We’ve all been there.
You go out with friends and by then end of the night find yourself drunk in the back of a taxi, searching for $10 to pay the driver. For those who stumble home, singing Sweet Caroline, we applaud you.
This is where Uber took initiative.
The popular ride sharing app is often at the center of global debate as it attempts to disrupt traditional taxis while battling employee wage suits and suppressing customer safety concerns.
However, recently the service has introduced free rides for anyone who passes a breathalyzer test. The concept is called Uber Safe, their attempt to suppress drunk driving. it consists of a massive breathalyzer machine on on a sidewalk. All you have to do is take a straw, from the machine, and see if you blow over the legal limit.
If you do pass, you’re too drunk to drive. Uber will hail you a car for a free ride home.
A site has appeared in Toronto as a marketing stunt, so don’t get excited. However, with the massive turnout Uber has told users to “stay tuned” for more kiosks in more areas.
Our only concern will be the lines at any NYC kiosk when at that point, drunks will have to decide between waiting for a possible free ride or taking their chances.
