Post subject:  Uber announces further Local Cab tie-ups in Glasgow area

This is boilerplate Uber Local Cab stuff, but maybe more significant in Scotland than England, because Uber itself never really got beyond Edinburgh and Glasgow.

But these towns are arguably suburbs of Glasgow city, and certainly part of Greater Glasgow. Hamilton and East Kilbride are further afield, but still part of Greater Glasgow by some definitions.

Initially I thought this was the first Local Cab stuff in Scotland, but had forgotten about their link up with Capital Cars in Edinburgh last year.

Sure I read about tie-ups in a couple of more obscure Scottish locations not that long ago, but can't recall them now, and not sure if I could be bothered posting them on here at the time.


New Uber service launches in Rutherglen and Cambuslang

Local Cab was already running in Hamilton and East Kilbride

A new cab service for Rutherglen and Cambuslang has now started up.

Local Cab gives passengers the option to book trips with a local taxi operator via the Uber app.

Local Cab trips will be passed to local operator Domino Private Hire to fulfill, and all subsequent support will be provided by them.

The arrival of Local Cab in Rutherglen and Cambuslang follows previous launches in over 60 locations across the UK, including with Kalvin Kabs and Hastie Cars in nearby Hamilton and East Kilbride during October 2021.

Paul McDougall, director at Domino Private Hire, said: “We’re proud to bring Local Cab to the people of South Lanarkshire.

"This provides another way for customers to book with us – and for anyone visiting Glasgow that already uses the Uber app, Local Cab will make it easy for them to book a ride with a local operator."

Andrew Brem, general manager at Uber UK, added: “The Local Cab rollout is proving a success for local operators, riders and local economies – helping to maximise earnings opportunities for drivers while giving passengers more choice.

"We are excited to launch in Rutherglen and Cambuslang.”

Words I suspect have never been used before, and will never get used ever again. :D
