Uber introduces ‘Uber for Teens’ for safe and supervised transport

Ride-hailing service provider Uber on Wednesday launched ‘Uber for Teens’, a new feature designed to offer teenagers aged between 13 and 17 years a safe and supervised way to travel. The service allows parents to set up a Teens account, enabling them to track their child’s trips in real time, request rides on their behalf, and receive detailed ride summaries.

The update has been launched across 37 cities in the country, including metros such as Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Chennai, among others. The product, which includes GPS tracking, real-time monitoring, and an in-app emergency button, is designed to offer peace of mind to parents.
