The San Francisco-based ridesharing service Uber expanded into Sonoma County Monday, extending to local passengers the mobile application that allows them to connect with drivers of vehicles for hire.
Launched in San Francisco in 2010, Uber is now in more than 100 cities around the world, said Danny Nicolopoulos, Uber community manager. It launched in Napa Valley last month and in Marin County in January.
With Monday’s expansion along the Highway 101 corridor and east to Sonoma, the service is now available throughout Northern California from Carmel to Santa Rosa, he said.
“I think Sonoma County is going to be a huge market for us,” he said. “It seemed like a good fit for what we were doing.”
