Uber just announced that SPI Cinemas (formerly known as Sathyam Cinemas) have integrated Uber’s API on Android and iPhone apps that lets you request a ride to the respective SPI Cinemas theater once your booking is done.
Button to request an Uber will appear once the booking for food and movie tickets is complete. For advance movie ticket bookings, you will receive a reminder notification on your iOS or Android device, one hour prior to your movie which will take you to your e-ticket. From here you can easily request your Uber ride.
