Uber granted license to operate buses in Delhi

Uber has been granted an aggregator license by the Transport Department, Government of Delhi, to operate buses under the Delhi Premium Bus Scheme. Each Shuttle vehicle will be able to accommodate between 19 to 50 passengers and will be operated by local fleet partners utilizing Uber’s technology.

The formal launch of Uber Shuttle, a bus service tailored for daily commuting needs, brings to fruition a pilot program that was initially tested in Delhi NCR and has been operational in Kolkata since last year under an MoU with the West Bengal Government.
