Hyderabad, March 17, 2025: Daily commute to Hitec City is about to get an upgrade. Starting March 17, 2025, Uber is offering free rides on Uber Shuttle for three weeks, helping commuters in Hyderabad experience a smarter, hassle-free, and comfortable way to travel.
Uber Shuttle is a daily commute bus service, currently being piloted in Hyderabad to offer a shared mass mobility option for city travelers. Designed to ease traffic congestion and reduce dependency on private vehicles, Uber Shuttle connects key residential areas with major business districts through predefined routes. The service has already been successfully running in Delhi and Kolkata, where tens of thousands of commuters rely on it for their daily travel.
The free rides will be applicable on all routes from Alwal, Ameenpur, Bachupally, Nampally, Uppal, and Vanasthalipuram, leading to and from Hitec City during the limited period.
Amit Deshpande, Head – Uber Shuttle, India, said, “Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing cities in India, and its traffic congestion is a challenge we believe shared mass mobility can help solve. By offering free Uber Shuttle rides for three weeks, we want commuters to experience the magic of Uber brought alive on Uber Shuttle firsthand. We expect more people to opt for shared mobility options and elevate the everyday commute experience.”
Commuters can pre-book seats up to a week in advance, track live shuttle locations, and check expected time of arrival (ETA)—all through the Uber app. No standing passengers are allowed, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride experience.
