SRINAGAR: Uber, a ride-hailing service, began operating in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. Srinagar was the first location. In the valley, the company has launched “UberGo” and “Intercity,” an out-of-town product. Shiva Shailendran, Head of Supply and Regional Operations, said in a statement: “With the global ride-hailing app now available in Srinagar, tourists, as well as locals, will now find a trusted ride in and around Srinagar with a few taps on the app.” “The launch of our service will also create meaningful earning opportunities for drivers and will support the economic growth of local communities,” he stated. According to the firm, Uber’s entry into Srinagar is consistent with its aspirations to expand throughout India, with the goal of broadening its reach and product offerings to local markets. You can reserve intercity transport to visit popular tourist spots in and around Srinagar, such as Gulmarg, Sonmarg, and Pahalgam. Return trips lasting up to five days can be scheduled for intercity travel, during which time passengers can keep both the driver and their Uber and make additional stops along the way. All Uber rides can now be reserved up to 90 days in advance, giving users more time to arrange their travels and improving journey planning. According to the corporation, this function also benefits drivers because it allows them to project their profits in advance and budget their spending appropriately.
