Uber to launch cheapest service in India soon

New Delhi : Within nine years of launch, Uber has expanded itself to 600 cities in the world. Moving ahead, the global giant is now planning to launch cheapest service in India.

Considering huge popularity of pool service in India, the company has now decided to launch Express pool services soon. "We are exploring multiple innovations in order to minimise the inconvenience for riders in term of time spent in vehicle sharing," Prabhjeet Singh, Regional General Manager, Uber India & South Asia, said in an interview with Business Line.

The service is currently under testing phase. "In its early days of pilot, we are encouraging riders to walk a little so that they can optimise the matching algorithm," he told the newspaper.

What is Express Pool Service?

Currently, in Uber pool, the cab picks you up from your location and drops to the designated location meanchile other commuters on the same route can join in and share the travel cost. While in Express pool, the pick up and drop off points will be fixed and passengers can board the cab.

Interestingly, Ola had launched a similar service in India with the name of Ola Shuttle.
