In May, Uber launched a new experiment: selling train and bus tickets through its app for its customers in Denver, Colorado. Today, the company reports that it has sold over 1,200 tickets for the city’s Regional Transportation District, which operates Denver’s public transportation system.
THE COMPANY REPORTS GROWTH AVERAGING 42 PERCENT EACH WEEK DURING THE ROLLOUT PERIOD
Uber Transit, the company’s in-app ticketing feature, was made available to a small cohort of customers in May, and it has since become available to 100 percent of Uber users in Denver as of June 25th. The company reports growth averaging 42 percent each week during the rollout period.
Uber may not make any money when it sells bus and subway tickets through its app, but it is seeing an uptick in business as a result. Since Uber launched its transit planning feature in January, Uber trips in Denver that start or end at a transit station have grown 11.6 percent. This helps bolster Uber’s claim that it is helping solve the first mile / last mile challenge that plagues many cities.
Uber also said that the number of repeat ticket purchases has increased every week since ticketing launched. As of the week of June 24th, approximately 25 percent of tickets sold were purchased by users who had previously purchased tickets on the app.
Uber’s new transit feature is powered by Masabi, a London-based tech company that builds mobile ticketing software for public transportation. This is the first incarnation of Uber and Masabi’s partnership since the two companies first struck a deal last year to integrate the latter’s mobile ticketing platform into the former’s app. Uber riders in Denver have been able to see real-time bus and rail information when they open the app since January, courtesy of transit data firm Moovit.
For now, Uber is taking its first foray into public transportation slowly, one city at a time. So far, the company offers real-time subway and bus schedules, time and cost comparisons, and point-to-point directions for customers in London and Boston. It most likely will launch ticket purchasing in those cities later this year.

Casinos throughout the world have been forced to close their doors due to the Covid-19 virus. Casinos in our local region remained open for as long as they were allowed.
But when will they reopen? This is anybody’s guess, but the overall data suggests within 3 to 6 months. It could be much longer though.
Land-based Casinos Close While Online Casinos Boom
With the global social distancing rules, most people are forced to stay home to prevent the spread of the virus. So it’s no surprise that video streaming giant Netflix was forced to restrict viewers to standard definition videos. This is because of their fear that the sudden rise of usage could bog down the Internet. The restrictions are only taken place in particular regions.
Similarly, while land-based casinos have closed down, Internet-based casinos have seen a remarkable increase in usage.
Warning About Online Gambling
If you’re bored at home and in quarantine, the last thing you want to do is gamble your money away. It appears we are on the verge of a global financial recession. Believe me, you don’t want to be gambling at this time.
If you find you can’t stop yourself gambling online, I suggest find professional help. Although ironically the only help you may find is online support groups, or assistance via the phone. This is because of social distancing rules.
If You’re a Professional Player
You may be in a unique situation where you rely on casinos for an income. Not referring specifically to casino owners, who no doubt have ample funds in reserve. I’m referring to professional advantage players, who exploit various casino games for an advantage.
Firstly, keep in mind casinos are big business. They are extremely profitable to run, and will likely always exist. Some of the smaller casinos may go bankrupt, but may be rapidly replaced by other casinos.
Relying on online casinos may not be the answer. You would probably be aware that many online casinos routinely refuse payouts, specifically when they suspect advantage player is involved. As with any advantage player technique, the main limit to your income is what you can win without being detected.
The majority of casinos are owned by people who don’t even spend time in the casino. They may visit it perhaps once a year, and spend the rest of their time abroad. As they call the shots, they would likely keep the casino open for as long as legally possible. And without regard for public safety. You may get the sense that we are not fans of the gaming industry, and in particular gaming establishments such as casinos. We have seen them ruin lives, and exploit desperate people such as problem gamblers. Casinos generally have never had the best interests of the people in mind. Things are not going to change now, due to the virus or anything.
So you can be sure that as soon as casinos are permitted, they will reopen promptly. The question is then will you risk becoming sick?
Is Covid-19 Worse Than An Ordinary Flu?
Casinos are crammed with people, often shoulder to shoulder. Especially with games like a crowded roulette table. Although if you are a roulette player, you would normally aim to play when the table was quiet. This maximizes your spins per hour, and your overall profit potential. But still you are in close proximity to many people.
Because of your close proximity to others, you can very easily catch diseases such as the flu. And with coronavirus being extremely contagious, you are bound to catch it if you are around others who are ill. So you may be questioning is coronavirus any worse than the ordinary flu.
At this stage, there is conflicting information. The consensus so far is that it is significantly worse, with respect to the mortality rate. Initial data suggests about 10 times more deadly. At this stage, this is far more likely if you are elderly, obese, a smoker, or have any other condition that affects your immune system. Coronavirus specifically attacks your lungs, which is why smokers are particularly at risk.
For now, it’s too early to know for sure how much worse coronavirus is. But I think it’s safe to say it is significantly worse, and you should avoid crowded casinos at least until we know more about the disease.
We’d all like to think we can win non-stop, and the casino will do nothing. Sadly that’s not reality. The casino can ban us for any reason they want. This is because most casinos are private property.
If you had a private business, you could ask anyone you want to leave – and for any reason.
What does this mean for players?
Casinos don’t tolerate consistent winners
Let’s say you worked hard and developed the never-lose gambling system. What next? You’ll go to the casinos to earn your millions.
It’s not so simple because one way or another, the casino will stop you from winning. There are many ways they can do this. Simplest is they demand you leave, although rarely is that what they actually do. That’s more a last resort.
Nevertheless, casinos want you to think if you beat them fairly, that you can make a fortune. They need you to think that, because they need you to have hope. Because without hope, you wont bet.
Being banned isn’t limited to advantage players
Casinos consider the only viable threat to be advantage players. These are players with legitimate strategies that give players an advantage. So usually if you win an unusually high amount, first casino staff will study video recordings to determine how you won.
If your winnings were typical of a gambler, they’ll consider your winnings as mere luck. In this case, they’ll allow you to continue playing. In fact they’ll encourage you to keep playing. Why? So you can LOSE the money you’ve won. That’s why they often shower big winners with gifts like free accommodation.
But if your style of play suggests you’re an advantage player, look out. You wont get free rooms. Firstly, they’ll take whatever steps to make you lose. And if their attempts are unsuccessful, you’ll be told to leave. That’s why it’s so important for advantage players to avoid detection (which isn’t particularly difficult if you aren’t greedy.
So if you’re a lucky gambler, they’ll try and manipulate you, under the guise of “helping you celebrate your luck”.
And if you’re a professional player and are detected, you’re too smart to be allowed to continue.
If you’re not an advantage player, it’s not like they’re going to ban you . . . right? Actually there have been cases where even lucky gamblers who had a few lucky wins were banned.
But why, if the system was just luck?
Because casino staff don’t know what they don’t know. They are open to the possibility that there may be a new system they don’t know about. You may be exploiting their games in new ways. So they’d rather be safe than sorry.
The only way to guarantee you are continued to play is if you continue to lose. So is it even worth playing? Yes, but only if you are avoiding detection, regardless of how you win.
If casinos know about your winning, your winnings are unsustainable.
It’s even worse at online casinos
The internet is full of ads promoting online casinos. Which online casinos are honest? It depends on your definition of “honest”. Because there’s no such thing as a casino that wants you to win. Make no mistake, they want losers only. They don’t become successful from your success.
Because online casinos are licensed in obscure jurisdictions, they are allowed to legally be immoral. They can often refuse payouts even if they suspect you of doing something against their terms or service – like perhaps using clever software. Even if you didn’t break any of their terms, it wont matter.
There have been numerous cases of very large wins at online casinos. And the casino made never-ending excuses to avoid paying winnings. Casinos know you probably don’t have the resources to take them to court. And if you do, it’s still probably a better option for them to let you take them to court – instead of paying huge wins.
How to keep your winnings
Firstly, only play at casinos that are licensed in major jurisdictions. Be less inclined to play at casinos incorporated in small island countries. It doesn’t mean you should neglect these casinos though, as explained further below.
Secondly, always hide winnings. It’s not so easy with online casinos, because it requires a mix of VPNs to change your IP, and ID-verified accounts to process withdrawals. However, it’s quite easy to avoid detection in real casinos. The exact methods to avoid detection in real casinos mostly depends on your system or strategy to win.
And thirdly, do your research. Ensure a casino has extensive positive unbiased reviews. Don’t get your reviews from casino promotion websites though. Most of them are designed only to promote casinos. So don’t expect to read the truth. A good start is also asking at gambling forums, although trust only a broad range of credible members. Never trust new members as they can easily be owners of rogue casinos.
