Uber, the popular car service, announced they are launching their service today in Auburn.
"We're excited to announce that uberX has made its way to the city of Auburn," Uber said in an email to registered Auburn users. "With the push of a button, students and residents can now request a safe and affordable ride."
Uber also announced today it was rolling out service to 23 other cities, including Tuscaloosa, Oxford and other SEC college towns.
In July, Uber tried to bring its service to Birmingham, but the Birmingham City Council passed revisions to its transportation code that Uber found unacceptable.
