Uber announced the rollout of two features designed for riders over the age of 65 including one that will allow family members to book, pay for, and track their trips.
A study showed more than one in three older Australians found it difficult to arrange their own transport.
The features added to the tech giant's app would include "simple mode" that had been designed for older travellers who wanted easier access to rides, Uber Australia and New Zealand managing director Emma Foley said.
