Uber Ice Cream Trucks: Cool Off With On-Demand Delivery Service Via App

Uber, popular for its on-demand private driver services, will be bringing ice cream directly to your front door on Friday, in accordance with a one-day promotion.

Residents of 35 cities around the world, including New York City where temperatures are expected to reach well above 100 degrees, are able to request the "Ice Cream" option via their iPhone or Android Uber app, the Associated Press reported.

Depending on what city you're in, the cost for this service can range between $20 and $30 for you and five of your friends. Payments will be charged to your Uber account. Ice cream trucks hired by the San Francisco start-up will be making their rounds from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, July 19^th.

Uber's CEO Travis Kalanick said "crisp communication" will fix problems that hampered the company's attempt to carry out this idea last year in seven U.S. and Canadian cities.

"In San Francisco last year, we had so much demand that in order for everyone to get ice cream, we would have had to have 1,000 trucks on the road. That's a city with 1,500 cabs." Kalanick explained.
