On his second visit to India on Tuesday (October 22), Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced the launch of Uber for Public Transport for the Indian market, starting with Delhi.
The company has partnered with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to enable the service across its 200 Delhi Metro stations.
Khosrowshahi said, “The results show that we are bringing new users to transit, and ultimately the growth of Uber and we can help all the time to really set the path for the future, and they can be part of the growth for public transit going together and we’re thrilled to be here. First in Asia, in Delhi, we know that we can bring this vision of being this operating system to your daily life together.”
The company also laid out its vision of how a user can plan their journey and commute with Uber to reach their destination from doorstep to doorstep. Uber will let users book carpool or solo rides as well as public transport through the app and Uber kiosks at Delhi metro stations. Passengers can use Uber to enter and exit metro stations, through an in-app travel card.
