Uber is Offering Free Rides on Election Day

As if any of us needed another reason to spend money on the Uber app… Our favorite ride-share behemoth announced last week that it will offer free rides to people in Boston who are commuting to one of the city’s polling locations.

Unfortunately, for all of you students who did not receive your absentee ballot in time from your home state, this is not the cure-all for you. Still, check out the internet to see if Uber is offering a similar deal in your city. We know Philadelphia—currently in the throes of a public transportation workers’ strike—will be full of people zipping around the city in Uber and Lyft cars, because both companies are offering free rides on Tuesday.
