UPDATE: Aug. 3, 2020, 10:03 a.m. BST Uber Boat has launched in London, setting sail on the River Thames on Monday.
Uber will soon have a boat option, but unlike its ride-hailing service, it won't be on-demand.

New Lime electric-assist bicycles arrived after Uber's Jump e-bike and e-scooter division was sold to Lime.

A QR code generated in the app will become your boat boarding pass.

The ferry schedule will remain fixed, so riders will have to get to the pier at a certain time. If you do miss the ferry, you can always order an Uber ...
