New Uber service launches in Rutherglen and Cambuslang

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.

Anyone opening the Uber app in the area can select the Local Cab option, alongside regular Uber-operated options such as UberX and UberXL.

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.”
