Ride-hailing major Uber on Thursday announced the launch of its public
transport feature on its app through a partnership with Hyderabad Metro
Rail Limited (HMRL), where riders will be able to plan their transit
journey with real-time information and end-to-end directions.
After
successfully launching this feature in Delhi last year, Uber's current
association with HMRL and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) will allow
riders to plan their commute by reviewing HMRL and Telangana State Road
Transport Corporation's (TSRTC) bus service information.
"Following
our successful partnership with DMRC, we're thrilled to partner with
HMRL to launch our 'Public Transport' feature for powering smart
mobility in Hyderabad," Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India and South
Asia, said in a statement.
"This enables efficient commute
options, saves riders time and money, improves the city's productivity
and helps build smarter and more sustainable cities," Singh added.
The
feature gives riders the chance to view detailed information like the
fastest and cheapest routes, real-time schedules, arrival and departure
times, estimated price and walking directions to nearby transit stops to
make the smartest possible journey choices.
The company will
also have the option of customising their journey by opting for
ridesharing modes to help with first/last mile connectivity.
"We
are thrilled to partner with Uber to offer innovative solutions which
will help Hyderabad residents plan their travel efficiently and
seamlessly," said NVS Reddy, Managing Director, HMRL.
Since 2019,
Uber Transit Journey Planning has been introduced in more than 15
cities around the world in partnership with leading transit operators.
