In simple terms, if five areas you defined in the Uber, you can call the courier like Uber car, Uber driver, here called Messenger (messenger) will come and pick you sent to the specified location.

Unlike Uber's past service, Messenger is not a driver, they may ride a bike, or they may walk.

Meanwhile, Uber said it plans to recruit more than 200 thousand drivers to participate in the city's parcel delivery service.
