As per an ET report, Uber has been granted the licence under the Delhi government’s app-based premium bus aggregator scheme, notified in November last year.
With this, the company can start offering bus shuttle services in Delhi.
As per the Uber app, the company is currently offering over 50 shuttle routes in Delhi NCR.
This comes a month after Uber unveiled its subscription-based models for auto drivers.
Currently, Uber provides ride-hailing services via four-wheelers, auto rickshaws, two-wheeler-taxis and hyperlocal deliveries.
Uber has announced that users will now have the option to book bus rides along with other mobility services through its app. India becomes the second country, after Egypt, where Uber operates buses as part of its Uber Shuttle service. Currently, Uber Shuttle operates in Kolkata under an MoU with the West Bengal government. The company conducted a pilot program for Uber Shuttle in Delhi starting last year.
According to a report by ET, Uber aims to operate buses on routes connecting business districts with residential areas, spanning across all parts of Delhi. Each bus will accommodate between 19 to 50 passengers and will be managed by local fleet partners
