As part of a pilot project in Millenium City Gurgaon (Gurugram), the Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited (GMCBL) and ride-sharing aggregator platform Uber have entered into a partnership. Commuters will now be able to book and reserve seats for themselves in select GMCBL buses. The pilot project will allow commuters to book tickets in the corporation’s air-conditioned buses on two routes. Commuters can book seats and follow the live location of a bus on the Uber app, much like they do with cabs on the app.
According to Uber, the company hopes to incentivise the shift to shared mobility using this project and encourage public transport. Uber hopes to use the data to provide better commuting options to passengers while also help the transport body in understanding and predicting passenger demand.
All seats on the bus will be reserved and there will be no standees.
According to the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), the service, known as Gurugaman Plus, will operate on the following two routes:
- Badshahpur Bus Stand to DLF Cyber Park (Shankar Chowk) via HUDA City Centre Metro Station
- BPTP Astaire Garden (Sector 70) to DLF Cyber Park via Golf Course Road.
Services will be available between 7am and 12pm (noon) and 3pm to 8pm daily.
