Uber Kyle Cuts Amid City Budget Crisis | Texas News

Kyle’s Uber program is getting a major overhaul starting July 1st as the city braces for a $14 million budget shortfall — costs have skyrocketed from $21K to $1.2M by 2025. Riders now pay $5 per trip (up from $3.14), with city subsidies capped at $10 per ride, and airport vouchers eliminated. Service is now limited to Kyle city limits and runs 6 AM to 1 AM. While essential trips — like to VA hospitals and wheelchair-accessible rides — still cost $3.14 and include monthly ride caps, critics worry about the impact on residents without alternatives. The city is also exploring an audit to investigate potential financial misconduct behind the deficit.
