Uber is piloting a Lite version of its rider app in India

Uber Lite has been built with India in mind — where it's currently being piloted — but it will be coming to other regions around the world later on. It's been designed to save space, weighing in at only 5MB (or about three selfies as Uber's helpfully points out), and run on any Android phone. Even when on a network with poor connectivity, a response time just 300ms is touted, so you should be able to book a ride almost immediately.
