Uber is not restricting itself to a cab provider only and is foraying into bike-taxi service. Uber’s bike-taxi service-UberMOTO, is going to debut in India’s IT hub Bengaluru with fares as low as Rs 3/km.
After Bangkok, Bengaluru is the second city whereUberMOTO service is getting launched, with an aim to tap two-wheeler riders. The bike-taxi will be launched on pilot basis and if successful, UberMOTO will mean a huge jump in the number of riding options for commuters.
Bengaluru has 3.8 million two-wheelers when compared to 1.1 million cars as of March 2015.
Karnataka’s capital city faces huge traffic congestion and apparently people prefer to travel on two-wheelers.
Meanwhile, the fares have been kept between Rs 3 and Rs 5 per km, cheapest offering by Uber so far.
Neel Ratan, executive director at audit and consultancy firm PwC, told ET that it is a smart move by Uber to tap into an underutilised asset.
"The option may not be completely infeasible for women commuters as they can be opt for women riders on two-wheelers," he said.
