Uber将出售新软件，从厢式货车运输服务开始

Uber的新软件将为公共交通机构提供叫车业务（车型为四轮厢式货车）。Uber在周三宣布了一项交易，名为 "Marin Connect"，因为第一批购买该软件的是来自加利福尼亚州马林县（Marin County）的运输供应商。Uber与当地公交公司和交通局达成合作，7月1日起该县范围的用户可以在Uber App中找到公共交通时刻表，折扣和代金劵（公交站前往目的地最后一英里的代金券）。Uber Transit负责人David Reich表示这不是一次性的交易；这个软件是一个新产品，也是一个新业务，Uber打算在未来还要与更多交通机构合作。Reich还说："我们要一起让汽车所有权成为过去。” 这次合作也会为Uber增加潜在的新收入。

Uber Technologies Inc. is getting into software. The company is making the technology that powers its ride-hailing business available to others, starting with public transit agencies. California’s Marin County transportation providers are the first customers to buy access to Uber’s software in a deal the company announced Wednesday. The tie-up represents a potential new revenue stream for Uber at a time when the company could use it.  The program, called Marin Connect, will power logistics for just four wheelchair-accessible vans when it begins on July 1. Teaming up with Marin Transit and the Transportation Authority of Marin, it will also make public transit schedules and discounts available within the Uber app in the county, and will offer vouchers for riders traveling the last mile to their destinations from transit stops. “This is not a one-off. This is a new product and a new business,” said David Reich, head of Uber Transit, adding that the company intends to partner with other transit agencies in the future. “Together we want to make car ownership a thing of the past.”  source
