Uber Starts Testing Bike Sharing Feature in New Delhi

While Uber and Ola take been running bike-hailing services in the NCR region (Gurgaon and Noida) for many years now, the sometime has now finally started testing this concluding-mile connectivity option in New Delhi. Dubbed Uber BikeShare, the ride-hailing behemothic will now Delhiites to share bike rides with fellow Delhiites going in the same direction.

Uber BikeShare is pretty similar to Uber Bike, except for the fact that anyone can offer rides to people while going from Point A to Point B. You will be able to volume yourself a BikeShare ride if someone is going in the same direction equally your destination point. The company confirmed the pilot on Twitter, introducing riders in New Delhi to their newest way of travel.

I received the Uber BikeSharing feature concluding evening and have tried it only in one case, but it could be the perfect solution for users who travel short distances to-and-fro from work. While the characteristic is said to match riders going in the same direction, I understand that Uber has also deployed its fleet of Uber Bicycle drivers (as ane was assigned to me) for its ongoing pilot test.

One of the fundamental highlights of this new commute option are the more affordable fares as compared to Ola Cycle, Rapido, and others. Y'all tin get from Okhla to Malviya Nagar by spending just Rs 35 (lower than Rs 60 I mostly spend on Ola Wheel) and from ane metro station to some other at five rupees.

Uber is connecting the metro stations in New Delhi with bike rides, that too at a super affordable cost of simply Rs 5.

Uber BikeShare is a great initiative from the American ride-hailing company, who'southward kickoff reported to have proposed this idea to the Delhi Regime final month. The company suggested the use of 5,000 wheel-taxis (which are not immune to operate in Delhi due to regulatory hurdles) to better the first and terminal-mile connectivity during the "odd-even scheme," which is currently in play to help limit pollution on road. Information technology strives to ferry one lakh commuters to and from Metro stations every week.
