Uber’s EV auto rickshaw launch in Ayodhya marks a sustainable shift in urban mobility, enhancing travel experiences for tourists and locals alike.
AYODHYA, INDIA – Uber recently marked a significant milestone in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, by launching its electric vehicle (EV) auto rickshaw service. This initiative, unveiled by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, represents Uber’s commitment to offering sustainable and affordable transportation solutions. The launch is particularly timely as Ayodhya, a city of immense religious significance, anticipates a surge in visitors.
The introduction of EV autos under Uber’s popular category, Uber Auto, is a strategic move to enhance the travel experience for tourists and pilgrims in Ayodhya. This eco-friendly transportation option not only aligns with the growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions but also supports the city’s infrastructure as it braces for an increase in footfall.
In addition to EV Autos, Uber is set to initiate operations of UberGo, its most economical car service, and Uber Intercity, a mobility product designed for inter-city travel. This comprehensive suite of services aims to seamlessly connect Ayodhya with key destinations across Uttar Pradesh, thereby bolstering tourism and economic development in the region.
This expansion into Ayodhya is a testament to Uber’s growth trajectory in India and reflects the company’s ‘India to Bharat’ strategy. This approach is focused on widening Uber’s reach and service offerings in regional markets, bringing the unique and diverse Uber experience to more customers across the country.
Prabhjeet Singh, President of Uber India and South Asia, expressed enthusiasm about this expansion. “We are excited to expand our services to Ayodhya as it emerges on the travel map of millions. With this expansion, we are not only providing enhanced mobility options for tourists and pilgrims but also unlocking earning opportunities for many more in the region. We are committed to contributing to the city’s tourism, promoting a seamless travel experience and fostering sustainable economic growth.”
Over the past decade, since the first Uber ride in Bengaluru, the company has revolutionized mobility in India. Today, Uber offers a variety of transportation options – including cars, autos, motos, and buses – in 125 cities across the country. The introduction of innovative, technology-driven solutions like in-app SOS features and location sharing continues to enhance safety and reliability for riders and drivers.
Uber’s foray into Ayodhya with EV autos and expanded service offerings marks another chapter in its journey of transforming urban mobility in India, underlining its commitment to sustainable growth and enhanced customer experiences.
