All the best UBER

Passengers travelling by train will now be able to book an Uber to the station – or from the station – using their Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) app thanks to a deal between the cab aggregator and Indian Railways, reports The Economic Times . This deal could add millions of commuters who prefer inter-city travel by rail into Uber’s customer base and also boost revenues for Indian Railways as they lease space inside stations for Uber kiosks and charge a commission for every Uber ride booked. Travellers will be able to book the Uber from the IRCTC app for mobile while they book their train journey. Uber will also help IRCTC upgrade it app. There is although no confirmation on the cities in which this service will be initiated for now. Ola has a tie-up with the Mumbai Metro to offer share rides from the station for as low as Rs 3 per KM.

Uber would definitely need to do a lobbying to get this to working since Taxi unions will oppose this move tooth and nail. For the guys who are looking for cheap rides through Uber for Railway pickup/drop will be disappointed since Uber for sure will introduce a convenience fee to opt for this service. I’m not sure how many of you have noticed, Ola has started levying different charges for Majestic( bangalore city railway station) drop/pickup. fares are ~ 30% higher than regulars fares.

“Uber has also mooted the idea of having UberPOOL facility for multiple travellers on same train, travelling in the same direction. This will be through integrating UberPOOL into the IRCTC booking flow, thereby reducing the cost of rides for the passengers,” said a source close to the development. As per the plan, the selected company will have a staging area near the station, where a pool of cabs will be parked, where rides will be offered to drivers on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis.
