Take Uber for $2.75 This and Next Weekend From Morgan L to Manhattan



Have you already banged your ugly roommate because the L train is really annoying on the weekends? Well, call that ugly romance quits because Uber will give you a ride along the L for a mere subway fare.

Our fave councilmember, Antonio Reynoso, who represents Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Ridgewood, teamed up with Uber to offer stranded L train riders new relief for the last two weeks of the L train shutdown: flat fare of $2.75 on all uberPOOL rides along the L train–matching a subway fare.

The MTA is shutting down the L line from the 8th Avenue-14th Street stop in Manhattan to Lorimer Street in Brooklyn during weekends through May 18, which didn’t make Bushwick businesses exactly optimistic. So hopefully this Reynoso-Uber initiative will make it a little bit better for them even though it doesn’t apply to Bushwick and Ridgewood L train stops past Morgan Ave (see below). 

The discount applies only to trips starting and ending in the area as highlighted below between 11:30pm on Fridays until 5am on Mondays, from May 8 – May 18.

You may be matched with another rider going the same way

Whether or not you’re matched, your fare to or from Brooklyn along the L Line will cost no more than $2.75

Additionally, if you take an UberPOOL to Williamsburg’s Meatball Shop, you get a free ice cream sandwich.
