Kommen: Uber Passengers Can Schedule Uber Ahead Everywhere

Posted by John Smith on July 24th, 2017

It’s almost impossible to keep up with all the conveniences Uber offers its users. You can request a ride from the comfort of your couch and have a driver arrive at your doorstep. Uber drivers can drive on their own schedule and earn as much as they want without limits. If you can’t afford to purchase your own vehicle, you can sign up to drive for an Uber partner or Uber fleet owner. Otherwise, you are your own boss and get to keep all your earnings after paying a small commission to Uber.

Uber continues to meet customer requirements. Bear in mind that both drivers and passengers are Uber’s customers. Uber passengers have requested that some services be incorporated into the app and Uber has tried its best to meet these desires. Recently, Uber announced it will be introducing the tipping feature to the app which will allow Uber passengers tip Uber drivers. This has been a major bone of contention between Uber and its drivers.

Uber passengers also had other concerns at the top which was, “Why can't i schedule a ride with Uber?”Passengers were not just satisfied with on demand Uber booking but wanted the option of booking Uber ahead of time. Uber introduced the Schedule Uber feature into its app and Uber passengers were able to Schedule Uber ahead of when they needed it. This feature was active in some Uber cities but not all. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the Kommen app was developed. Kommen app developers did not seek to target just cities where the Schedule Uber feature wasn’t active but to also help busy people have a better handle on their itinerary better.

So how does Kommen work?

The kommen app is a standalone app that helps Uber users in all Uber cities schedule rides ahead of time. You can schedule rides from 15 minutes to 30 days ahead. Uber passengers can also schedule up to 5 rides at once.
