ReachNow will now serve 20% more homes, including Bay Ridge, Ditmas Park, Midwood, and Flatbush.

“This was an easy decision,” ReachNow spokesperson said in a statement. “We saw cars pressing up against the edges of the home area and knew we could do more to help our members get the last mile home. ReachNow now covers 26 square miles of Brooklyn.”

Additionally, ReachNow has introduced new pricing for weekdays, such as a three-hour package for $25, says the report.

“Today, we’re introducing a built-for-Brooklyn weekday rate,” said a ReachNow spokesperson. “Every Monday – Thursday, drive up to three hours for only $25. That’s a 50% discount on the normal price. We expect this to make ReachNow an option for mid-week business needs or errands.”
