Lucky SF Uber Riders Can Roll In A Spotify-Equipped Car Alongside Real, Live Musicians, Matt & Kim
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Some San Francisco Uber customer is going to get the ride of their life, Friday, thanks to the rideshare company's partnership with Spotify.
Here, and in 10 other cities around the world, Uber customers can request a ride in a 'special Spotify-enabled' car. A lucky, select few will roll with a famous musician in the car or, even better, get whisked off to a secret location and sit in on an exclusive live session.
San Francisco's live session will be with indie dance duo Matt and Kim. On Friday, the Uber app is like virtual 'velvet rope.' To get in the 'club', Uber users should open the app at 2:30 p.m. and request the Special Car.

A stream of bad noise went viral across the Internet, this week, after Uber's Senior V.P. Michael Kalanick was overheard at a soiree suggesting he'd spend $1 million to dig up dirt on a journalist who criticized his company. In an attempt at damage control, Kalanick quickly posted a 13-tweet apology, but calls for the CEO to step down persist.
