Today, we’re very excited to announce the launch of uberMOTO, a new service as a pilot in Bangalore. uberMOTO enables riders to tap a button and get a motorbike ride in minutes. It’s a great way for people to save time and money on short trips and provides last mile connectivity at the most affordable price – as low as ₹3/KM*.

uberMOTO is another step to help cut congestion in Bangalore by getting people out of cars when they don’t need to use them, and by encouraging motorbike drivers to share their ride. It follows the launch of Uber’s carpooling service, which is designed to get more people into fewer cars. By using today’s transportation infrastructure more efficiently, Uber’s technology can help the Government of Karnataka cut traffic and congestion at no extra cost to taxpayers.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose the uberMOTO option in your Uber app. Enter your pickup location and request your ride

We’ll show you your driver’s details straight away – name, photo and the details of the motorbike

All riders and drivers have to wear a helmet in Bangalore by law. Wear the helmet provided by your uberMOTO driver and put on the strap for your safety
Uber’s standard product safety features are in place before, during and after every trip, including GPS tracking, 2-way feedback and the ability to share trip details with family and friends.

At the end of the trip, you can choose to pay through any of our payment options – including CASH.

At launch uberMOTO will be available in the below areas between 7AM and 9PM, with fares as low as ₹3/KM*. We will continue to extend uberMOTO’s coverage over time.

At Uber our goal is to provide safe, reliable and affordable transportation at the tap of a button. uberMOTO will help passengers get to where they want to go more quickly and at a lower price – and with less congestion overtime. We can’t wait to get going.

Bike taxis illegal, do not use them: Govt

A day after cab aggregators Uber and Ola launched on-demand bike rideshare services in Bengaluru, the transport department described them as illegal. It asked citizens not to use the the services.

A statement by the department said the two companies had not obtained permit or licence to operate appbooked bike taxi services. The bike taxis are illegal and hence not entitled for any insurance cover, the department said, adding that action will be taken against the two companies. According to the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, enforced in Karnataka, a two-wheeler is considered to be private transport. To run a service like Ola Bike Taxi or Uber Moto, the vehicle needs to be licensed for commercial use. Ola declined to comment, but said it categorically mentioned during the launch that Ola Bike Taxi was only a pilot service and there were no regulations to follow in the state on this type of service. Uber's response was awaited.
