Analysis: Bus to flying taxi, Uber wants to facilitate every step of your trip | peterwells

. The company also announced new public transport options within the Uber app, and plans to bring Uber Jump — its e-bike sharing service — to Australia early this year.

For when you don't need to fly, Uber is also launching an electric bike share program in Australia in the next few months. Uber Australia's Lucas Groeneveld was not able to specify the launch cities until agreements are in place for the service — called Jump — but he assured me that "there is a ship full of bikes on the way to Australia".

"They're very heavy and expensive, so it's in our best interest to make sure that these things are in the right locations being used in the right way."Possibly the most mundane announcement from CES could become the most useful. Uber is now bringing traditional public transport — that is buses and trains — into its app. It's a low key start, with just transit information in most markets, but the company plans to eventually add payments to each city.
