I saw a ferry in a YouTube video the other day that had "Uber Boat" plastered on the side.

The public transport boats in London are operated by Uber

They now also sell Eurostar tickets (although I don't see the advantage over Eurostars website)

They're sponsored by Uber, that's it - they bought the naming rights. The actual boats are owned and run by the Thames Clipper company.

Thanks for the correction, I assumed Uber ran the ticketing as well for some reason, I haven't taken one since the uber branding

Was amusing getting the notification for "$35" Eurostar tickets on the Uber app, when it should be £35, very on brand.

When I was in Dubai, there were Uber helicopters. I'm still half tempted to take one when I'm back there.

Athens (Georgia) Transit shut down regular bus rides along route 30, expanded it, and made it on-demand via the Uber app.

It kind of makes sense. Route 30's original route is sparse, but it's still mostly people who need to get downtown regularly. This lets them provide an expanded service without running a mostly empty bus all day.
