Introduction of the new feature from December 16,2015 will also allow Uber to
tap into a pool of over 27 lakh private cars in the city and make
travel 10-30 % cheaper for passengers opting to share rides
"We don't need more cars on the road, what we need is better
utilisation as a number of seats go vacant in a ride. Using our
platform, private car owners can offer rides to others and thus reduce
congestion and pollution in the capital over time," Uber North India
General Manager Gagan Bhatia said
Currently, Uber only has drivers with commercial licences on board
in India. Uber has over 2.5 lakh registered driver partners on its
platform in India and is present in 22 cities, the highest in any
country outside the US.
The company, which competes with Ola and other cab companies like Meru
in India, has ride sharing facility available in Bengaluru as well as
other international cities like San Francisco, New York City, Boston,
Austin, and Paris
