SPREADING INFLUENCE: New partnerships mean that after people book flights or make dinner reservations they can easily arrange for Uber cars to get them to airports or restaurants.

SAN FRANCISCO: Uber teamed up with dining and travel smartphone applications Wednesday as the controversial Internet-age car-hailing service moved to park itself at the heart of mobile lifestyles. 

The San Francisco-based startup let about a dozen businesses such as Starbucks, Hyatt Hotels, United Airlines, TripAdvisor and restaurant reservation service OpenTable make it simple for people to summon Uber cars from inside their applications for smartphones or tablet computers.
