- Uber launches concurrent rides in India.
- Users can book three trips simultaneously.
- Cash payments accepted.
Uber has quietly rolled out a new feature in India allowing users to book up to three rides simultaneously.
This update enables customers to arrange transportation for themselves and two others, all from a single account.
No app? No problem
The concurrent rides feature caters to users booking for guests who may not have the Uber app or even a smartphone.
Trip details can be shared via WhatsApp or text message, including driver information and a four-digit PIN to start the ride.
Cash is still king
In a nod to local preferences, Uber allows riders to pay for these concurrent trips using cash or through the app.
This flexibility puts Uber ahead of competitors like Ola, which has more limited options for multiple bookings.
