“The city of Pflugerville is excited to be one of the first cities in the state to provide this type of discounted rideshare opportunity for our community,” Mayor Victor Gonzales

Kyle, Texas, has grown from 5,000 to 50,000 people in two decades. As the city continues to grow, it needed to get creative with how it moves people.

Kyle has voted to renew a two-of-a-kind public transportation program to allow riders to take an Uber anywhere in the city for $3.14.

For a ride to be eligible, it must begin and end within Pflugerville city limits or at the Capital Metro Park & Ride station at Tech Ridge.

On-demand ride-sharing services, vans and shuttle buses have spread to at least 100 U.S. cities, providing flexibility and reducing car usage.

Mayor Pro Tem Rick Koch talks about how the city saved money by using Uber instead on buses for public transportation.
