Uber Unveils New York Subscription Deals: $200 for an Unlimited Month

You ready to take the plunge?

NEW YORK, NY — Brooklynites are out of luck because Manhattanites just got the best Uber deal ever. Beginning Oct. 1, Uber users can pay $100 for two weeks of unlimited rides (Oct. 1 to 14) or $200 for a full month of unlimited rides in Manhattan, Forbes reported.

It's like the ClassPass of taxis. The Amazon Prime of on-demand rides. The Netflix of privatized transportation. You get it.

Here's the fine print: All rides have to take place below 125th Street and start and stop within the island of Manhattan. All the rides must be UberPOOL rides. And if a ride costs more than $20, the rider has to pay the sum over $20.

The ride-share service is hoping to get people hooked and loyal to Uber instead of wavering between Uber, Lyft and whatever is the hot new taxi service of the month. We'll see if New Yorkers can really be that loyal.
