Uber and SEPTA announced a partnership to provide discounts on rides to a limited number of RRD stations' parking lots:

The limited participating station list suggests it's really an experiment, but good to see someone thinking out of the box, partnering with newer transportation options, and trying something new out.

I would actually use such a partnership for late night subway/Uber combo. I think that would be something to look at to help unlock pockets of the city to 24 hour service.
