Uber is to enable users in the UK to purchase train, coach and plane tickets for long-distance journeys within its mobile app as part of a plan to create a ‘superapp’ that offers “a one-stop shop for travel”.  The move is part of a pilot that could be expanded to other countries at a later date if it goes well.

While Uber won’t provide these travel services itself, it will allow users to book them through its app following software integrations with platforms that sell tickets.

The tech giant, which may take a cut on each booking, said it plans to announce various partners in the coming months.

Uber said the integrations will help to boost app usage among its users in the U.K, who also have the choice of using apps like Bolt and Free Now. The U.K. is one of Uber’s largest markets outside the U.S.

“Everyone values the freedom to make travel arrangements in a simple and convenient way, which is why we’re excited to become a one-stop shop for all your travel needs,” said Jamie Heywood, Uber’s regional general manager for UK, northern and eastern Europe.

“Uber has not disclosed whether it plans to offer tickets from rail and coach operators directly, or partner with existing aggregator services when the service goes live this summer. Flight bookings will launch later in the year, said, and hotel reservations could follow next year”.

“The UK, one of Uber’s biggest markets outside North America, will pilot the service before a wider rollout.”

The announcement comes after a recent win for Uber. uber uk

On March 26, Uber secured a 30-month license to continue operating in London, ending a protracted battle with city regulators over whether the ride-hailing app was “fit and proper.”
