Wanted to try @limebike which is v expensive but they now do quite good value passes. But unlike other ppl I know in London, the option to buy isn't on my app even though I've just downloaded it - customer service has gone AWOL. Any tips for accessing the pass option?

Hi @ubereats_uk what’s your complaints procedure pls? I’m stuck in a Kafkaesque doom loop of cut and paste laziness from your customer services team.
