It's a bird, it's a plane, it's … all soon to be available on your Uber app!

The rideshare companyannounced on Wednesdayits plans to become a "super app," expanding beyond allowing users to hail cars and trucks to allowing users to book trains, planes and buses in its U.K. market by the end of the year in a pilot (pun intended) trial.

If all goes well, the company plans to expand the service to other markets.

The vehicles will not be owned directly by Uber, but instead the app will provide third-party vendors and rental services that will be integrated into the Uber app, the specific third-party partners to be announced in the coming months.

"Later this year we plan to incorporate flights, and in the future hotels, by integrating leading partners into the Uber app to create a seamless door-to-door travel experience."
