Uber Launches Uber Pet Taxi Services in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: Uber has launched their brand-new Uber Pet initiative in Bengaluru. Much like booking a normal ride on the ridesharing app, pet parents can now book the Uber Pet service and travel with their pets locally. The service currently allows dogs and cats to travel.
To book a ride, simply head into the app and select the Uber Pet option. Choose a pick-up time (bookings can be made between 1 hour and 3 months in advance) and make your booking accordingly.
According to Uber, this new reserve-only service enables pet owners to ‘enjoy stress-free travel with their furry companions, whether it’s a quick trip to the vet or an outing to their favourite pet-friendly cafe’.
According to Shweta Mantri, Head, Rider Verticals, Uber India and South Asia, “We understand how important pets are to their families and including them in our outings is essential.” The aim is to provide a seamless experience for pet parents while also creating additional earning opportunities for drivers, allowing everyone to include their beloved pets in their journeys. “Uber Pet is our effort to make travel more accessible and convenient for pet owners and their companions,” she stated.
