>Seniors become couriers
日本'銀發(fā)族'徒步送外賣

As Uber looks to expand its food courier service in Japan, a country with a tight labor market, the rideshare giant has faced road blocks rarely seen on the home soil of the US. But putting grandma and grandpa in running shoes seems to make sense.
優(yōu)步正尋求在勞動(dòng)力緊缺的日本擴(kuò)張其食品快遞服務(wù)，這家拼車巨頭面臨著在美國本土罕見的障礙，但是讓老年人穿上跑鞋送餐似乎行得通。

Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi said his company's food delivery in Japan, where rideshare is banned, has taken an alternative route to delivering food.
優(yōu)步首席執(zhí)行官達(dá)拉?科斯羅薩西稱，在禁止拼車的日本，優(yōu)步公司的送餐服務(wù)采用了另一種遞送方式。

在日本，目前大多數(shù)送餐員都是騎摩托車或自行車送餐，但老年送餐員更喜歡步行送餐。

科斯羅薩西說："這是日本獨(dú)有的特點(diǎn)，我們正考慮是否能將老年人送餐服務(wù)擴(kuò)展到世界其他地區(qū)。"
