Uber expands options for riders with seniors accounts

Rideshare company Uber has announced changes aimed at riders who are senior citizens and those with limited mobility. The company said it is adding more options that allow for independence for its older riders. When the senior accounts first launched, they were intended for seniors who might want assistance from a family member with managing their rides. Senior accounts were required to be connected with a standard Uber account. Today's expansion adds a second option that allows a senior account to be set up and managed solo, without that family member for assistance.
