The announcement of KAE Panathinaikos in detail:
KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR announces the start of its cooperation with the company Uber.
The start of the collaboration between KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR and Uber is a fact and comes to facilitate the movement of fans, always with safety in mind. Celebrating 10 years of presence in the Greek market, Uber is constantly working to connect passengers with taxi drivers and help them get to their favorite places at the touch of a button. This time, through its collaboration with KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR, it aims to bring basketball fans closer to their favorite team, enabling them to be present at every game.
Thanks to Uber technology, fans can get to and from the stadium easily and safely: a special pick-up point is to be set up inside the OAKA stadium, from which cooperating drivers will be able to pick up fans who have called a taxi through the application. At the same time, the app allows passengers to share their journey details with loved ones and contact the authorities directly in the event of an emergency, while providing a range of safety tools that are activated in the event of a long stop or change of direction. In this way, the company aims to relieve the traffic congestion created during major basketball games, as well as the Festivals that take place in OAKA, improving the experience of both fans and other citizens moving around the Athens area those days.
“We are particularly happy to start this collaboration with KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR, a team with a long history in Greek basketball and recognition at national and European level.” Said the Country Operations Manager of Uber Greece, Mary Gaitanarou. “By supporting sport and the enjoyable experience of a good match, Uber facilitates the movement of fans to and from the OAKA stadium allowing them to maintain the excitement of the match, while taxi drivers working with the Uber app ensure a smooth and safe route”.
On his part, the Chief of Revenues and Strategic Partnerships Officer of KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR, Serafim Voulgaris, said: “This is a new strategic and essential collaboration with features of increased added value between two companies, leaders in their field. Uber leads in the transportation sector, while Panathinaikos AKTOR is the European champion. Two leading brands, therefore, meet to offer an upgraded product to the sports fans who come to OAKA and want their movements to be carried out safely and comfortably. At KAE Panathinaikos AKTOR, we constantly and over time focus on improving the quality of the services provided to upgrade the experience of our fans. The transportation sector is particularly important and we expect the imprint of our collaboration with the Uber company to have a positive sign in the consciousness of the sports fans, bringing them closer to every match of our team!”
