We all love construction – the loud noise, the detours, the post-apocalyptic wasteland that becomes your street. Wait. What am I saying? Construction sucks – it’s the end result that’s awesome.

For those accustomed to riding the N-line, weekends are about to get real complicated as the N is shutting down from Friday at 7pm until Monday at 5am while crews beautify Church and Duboce.

This weekend we’ve got your back. Instead of dealing with the wacky world of detours and substitute buses, deal with Uber.

From Friday the 24th at 7pm until Monday the 27th at 5am every trip beginning or ending in the Sunset will be $10 off!

The discount will be applied automatically to trips that begin or end in the Sunset district so there’s no promo code to enter, just ride and we’ll take a Hamilton off your final fare.

So get your Clint Eastwood on and ride off to the sunset on your black stallion (read: in your black Uber). And if we’ve made your weekend a little more hassle-free tweet @Uber_SF with the hashtag #RidingtheUline, we’d love to hear it :)

What a crazy, crazy day! Here at Uber HQ we worked our butts off prepping roses to be handed out on V-Day and with a little elbow grease (and TaskRabbit help) we put almost 1,000 roses in our cars and in your hands :) We hope you had an amazing Valentine’s whether or not you were able to snag one of our roses.

If you’re just here to check on the Valentine’s Day contest results, they’re at the bottom of the post, past these awesome photos of the Team Uber SF prepping roses:

Office Manager Peggie helps bundle roses to hand to drivers.

Community Manager Brian doesn’t quite know how to pose with roses…

Though he didn’t help, iPhone Dev. Jordan had to get in on the photo opp.

Co-founder and CEO Travis bundling some roses.

And we had to have a Peggie glam-shot with the roses :)

What’s up Valentine’s Day lovers/haters? Whether you’re headed out on a hot date or have your head out the window trying to find a date, we’ve got a little something for you on Cupid’s busiest night.

On the evening of February 14th, our San Francisco drivers are handing out roses to Uber riders!

We’ll be loading our drivers up with roses in the afternoon, so there’s a great chance you’ll hop in your car on your way to dinner and be given a rose for that special someone. Don’t have anyone to give your rose to? That’s a problem that can be solved as soon as you get out the car. Find a sexy-somebody, deliver your smoothest line and a pretty red rose and boom! you’ve got plans for the evening.

Bonus:

Tweet a photo of you and your rose to @Uber_SF with your best pickup line and we’ll toss you $5 credit. The best pickup line (picked by Community Manager Brian) will receive $50 credit!

Here’s hoping you have an amazing V-Day and get a kiss from your rose!

Love,

The Uber SF Team
