INSANE UBER RACE ACROSS LONDON: Bike vs Boat vs Car

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
  • With Uber recently launching their Thames boat service, we wanted to find out the best method for getting across London. But in typical TPG UK fashion, we thought we'd make this investigation a little more exciting with a bike vs boat vs car race.
    Jean took the electric Uber bike, Nicky took the new Uber boat service and Liam took the classic UberX car.

      @donaldpolson5450 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      That's just the journey not door to door like they did. Have to include walk to Westminster station + making way to the Jubilee platform + waiting for the train. Also typical London bound to be some delay eg train held 'to regulate the service' (ie early) - God I HATE that one or slow running owing to train ahead. Always happens to me when I'm in a hurry across Town so bound to happen here.

    If there is a £9.96 difference between bike and car, bike in my opinion is the best! The Bike is best for the environment, helps to get fit, £9.96 cheaper and not sitting in traffic in Central London. Plus, the bike only took 4 minutes extra. Is the extra £9.96 worth being 4 minutes quicker?
