At Uber, we do everything we can to pack as much value into every price point. It’s how we have built loyalty among our customers and become a mainstay for getting around the Greater Boston Area. What what we don’t always do a great job of communicating, is that there are two parts to the equation. It’s not just about the riders, it’s also about the drivers.

Governor Deval Patrick used his Tuesday speech to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce to hint at how officials might spend the funds provided by the state’s new transportation finance law, plans that could include establishing rail service to the South Coast.
