Want to party like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? You may be an Uber ride away

No, this isn’t a Halloween trick.
Anyone who requests an Uber X from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday through Sunday has a chance at being surprised with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party Wagon.
You read that right.
The yellow van, decked out in turtle gear, can hold three passengers and will pick you up and drive you to your destination. And riders will be given themed face-masks.
“Halloween is always one of the busiest nights of the year at Uber,” Niraj Patel, director of ride operations at Uber, said in a statement. “That’s why we’re so excited to get into the spooky spirit and offer riders a magical exclusive experience that lets them enjoy some of their favorite famous cars — including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Party Wagon.”
Uber’s Miami market — which stretches from Homestead to Pompano Beach — is one of three that will get themed cars. The SpongeBob SquarePants Patty Wagon be in Los Angeles and Scooby Doo’s Mystery Machine will be in Atlanta.
The ride will charge usual pricing for Uber X, the service that picks up several passengers along the route, according to the ride-share company. When a ride is requested, the Party Wagon will pop up (where you’d normally see a Toyota or Honda or any other normal car).
If you are hoping to get a ride in the van, you may want to summon some Turtle Power! There’s no way to guarantee a Mutant Ninja ride.
