CAIRO, Dec. 9 (SEE) - Uber announced launching a bus service in Egypt and denied launching the same service in South Africa, according to the official Twitter account on Thursday.
With Uber Bus you reserve

air-conditioned, and high-quality bus."
The Uber apps finds other
passengers going in the same direction, filling up the bus but offering as few stops
as possible along the way with a cost lower than you would pay for a personal
Uber ride.
