The phone chargers are a small, but very big improvement. Snacks I could be whatever about, but getting 10% extra juice in my phone during a taxi ride could make the difference for me between requesting an uber ride or this.
Notice they didn't exactly say the amenities would be free.
Actually, charging for concessions (conveniently via the app) might be a very interesting business model. At the very least it might allow them to subsidize their base price, which is super-important given the price war with Uber that's going on right now.
It's small-batch, handmade in the nice part of the Mission with carefully-sourced beans. Basically as San Francisco as it gets.
Seems like the cost would add up, but I guess they hope most riders won't partake.
