Uber, the application which connects riders with drivers, is available in Iasi, the heart of Moldova, as of today. Those who haven’t tried the service before will have the first ride for free up to 10 lei, if they create an Uber account and use the promo code HelloIasi.
“We are happy to launch our service Iasi, the 5th Romanian Uber city. Iasi has chosen Uber as much as Uber has chosen Iasi – thousands of people have opened the Uber app in Iasi in the last six months. Today, Iasi launches tens of other European cities that have Uber – Paris, London, Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, Warsaw and many more. We want to partner with authorities here to make the city less congested, reduce pollution as well as make it more tourist – friendly,” said Nicoleta Schroeder, Head of Uber, Romania.
The first rider who tried the application in Iasi was Marius Manole- acclaimed actor of the National Theatre in Bucharest, born in Iasi.
“The agitated life of an artist means also making a lot of trips. For me, most days start with a rehearsal and end with one or two plays. I use Uber in Romania and abroad and I’m very happy that Iasi, my home city, has taken another step towards a modern urban transportation” said Marius Manole.
