优步现在正在进行大堡礁的潜艇之旅

Uber – arguably the most convenient taxi app – is expanding its network to include the depths of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

优步——可以说是最方便的出租车应用——正在扩展其网络，将探索澳大利亚大堡礁的深度包括在内。

‘scUber’ is the world’s first ride-sharing submarine service offering a trip around world’s largest coral reef system.

“scUber”是世界上第一个提供环绕世界最大珊瑚礁系统的共乘潜艇服务。

It’s certainly a unique way to experience one of the seven wonders of the world.

这无疑是体验世界七大奇迹之一的一种独特方式。

Take a look at the five-star ride:

看一看五星旅行吧:

Lucky passengers will travel the journey of lifetime via a two-seater submersible named ‘Barry’, all accessed by way of the app, INSIDER reports.

据业内人士报道，幸运的乘客将通过这款应用程序，通过名为“巴里”的双座潜水器进行终生旅行。

Despite being underwater, scUber will work somewhat similarly to a typical Uber service and passengers can even rate their driver.

尽管在水下，scUber的工作方式与典型的优步服务有些相似，乘客甚至可以给司机打分。

Although there’s no word whether they’ll allow you to play your tunes over Bluetooth.

不过目前还不清楚它们是否允许你通过蓝牙播放你的音乐。

Queensland-based riders will have to input their destination address as the Great Barrier Reef, before being picked up by helicopter and dropped to Barry’s departure point.

在昆士兰的乘客必须输入他们的目的地是大堡礁，然后才会被直升飞机接走并降落到巴里的出发地点。

Before boarding, scUber will need to know more than just your whereabouts.

在上船之前，scUber需要知道的不仅仅是你的位置。

Ahead of the trip, an operator will call to ask your weight – as well as confirm you hadn’t accidentally booked a trip to the depths of the reef.

旅行前，接线员会打电话询问你的体重，并确认你没有意外预定到暗礁深处的旅行。

Unsurprisingly, the hour-long journey is far from cheap.

不出所料，一小时的路程一点也不便宜。

A trip around the Great Barrier Reef will set customers back $2,060 USD for two people (including helicopter drop-off).

两个人游览大堡礁的费用为2060美元(包括直升机接送)。

So you really don’t want to be cancelling a ride just as Barry’s coming around the corner.

所以你真的不想在巴里即将到来的时候取消一次旅行。

Uber has rented the Barry submarine and its crew for around four weeks in partnership with Tourism & Events Queensland, promising to ‘match every fare with a donation to Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef’.

优步与昆士兰州旅游局合作，租用了巴里潜艇及其工作人员约四周，并承诺“将为大堡礁的居民提供相应的费用”。

scUber has limited availability and will only be available until June 18.

scUber的服务时间有限，只能持续到6月18日。

It’s hard to say where Uber could next take its service. Maybe hitch a ride up Everest?

很难说优步下一步会在哪里提供服务。也许可以搭个便车爬珠峰?
