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.

Uber Boat is launching in London as the ride-sharing app takes over one of the city's commute ferries, Thames Clippers.

Mobility data and analytics firm Arity found in a survey this week that more than 40 percent of U.S. commuters think public transit options (including buses, subways, trains, and other modes) are still somewhat or very unsafe. Despite this, London officials are trying to fast-track rentable e-scooters, like those from Bird and Lime, in the city. New Lime electric-assist bicycles arrived after Uber's Jump e-bike and e-scooter division was sold to Lime.

To make it easier to get onboard, the Uber Boat option is built into the Uber app and should streamline the ticketing process, especially since all your payment info is already loaded in. A QR code generated in the app will become your boat boarding pass.

But for anyone used to ordering an Uber car whenever they want, to and from wherever they want, this'll be a new, more regimented system. 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 ...
