TORONTO, June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stack Capital Group Inc. (TSX:STCK) is pleased to announce that Omio, Inc. (“Omio”), an existing portfolio holding and leading global platform for booking trains, planes, buses, and ferries, recently announced the extension of its strategic partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) into Spain.
Building on the success of its previous collaboration with Uber in the UK, the recent launch of Uber Train across Spain continues to redefine the landscape of multi-modal travel through a convenient door-to-door experience. Powered by Omio’s unique API, Uber’s Spanish customers now have access to an extensive inventory of rail routes, including Eurostar, further solidifying Uber’s position as a one-stop shop for travel solutions.
“A very exciting announcement from Omio, which provides clear evidence that its solution is delivering value to both Uber and its customers,” said Jeff Parks, CEO of Stack Capital. “Given the success of the partnership in the UK, with high repeat train bookings, we expect similar results for Spain over time, along with other European countries in the future.”
