Why Uber are working with Bubble
“We’re giving a thousand drivers 10 hours of free childcare, which is really important because the whole point of being an Uber driver is that you’ve got total freedom to work when and where you like.
A lot of drivers do have childcare responsibilities and this allows drivers to go out at times when perhaps they wouldn’t be able to go.
I’m really delighted to be trialling this with the Bubble team”
