Uber isn't just for rides anymore — at least if you live in New York.
The ride-sharing startup plans to begin testing an on-demand delivery service in New York City on Tuesday, according to multiple reports (http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/07/uber-is-launching-an-on-demand-courier-service-tomorrow-exclusive/). The new service will be called UberRUSH, according to CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/101561519), and charges between $15 and $30 for couriers to deliver objects for users by foot or bicycle.
