Uber starts its courier delivery business

NEW YORK: The next time you order a burrito, it may be delivered by an Uber driver.

Uber is graduating its Uber Rush pilot from an experiment to a business. First launched in 2014, the Uber Rush trial let users hail a courier from within its app, like you would a regular Uber, and track the messenger as they approached.

When BI tried the pilot, a reporter had a raincoat she forgot at a meeting picked up and dropped off within 20 minutes for $11.
