Uber today announced a new perk for drivers. Acknowledging that music goes a long way in setting the mood for the drive, the company said that feedback from its drivers showed that high quality music makes a difference which is why it’s offering them an incentive. A new feature has been designed with Pandora in the Uber Partner app which will enable drivers to enjoy ad-free personalized music throughout the day.
This incentive is being offered to drivers in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. They will be able to play music, while they drive for Uber, from their favorite Pandora stations for free and without having to put up with advertisements.
Uber will be rolling out this feature gradually over the coming days and drivers will see a message in the Uber Partner app when the feature is available for them. To get started they will need to connect their phone to the car’s Bluetooth or Aux, tap the Play Music button in the Uber Partner app, log into or create a free Pandora account, and enjoy free streaming music.
Pandora is directly integrated into the Uber Partner app meaning that drivers can easily play and discover music, save songs, and access streaming radio stations for free from within the app itself.
