Uber has closed his shuttle bus services in Mumbai and Hyderabad, induced by a low rider and steep operating costs, people said familiar with Mint. Meanwhile, the giant for bike rides will continue to operate its shuttle services as usual in Delhi and Calcutta.
The shutdown affects 250-300 buses in Mumbai and 150-200 in Hyderabad, people quoted earlier and demanded anonymity.
“There are around 250-300 buses outside the road alone. Hyderabad will see an impact of 150-200,” said the bus fleet operator based in Mumbai, adding that Uber recently informed them about shutdown.
Uber confirmed the development of the mint.
“Cityflo could absorb part of the demand because Uber has worked on approximately 200 odd routes throughout Mumbai and Hyderabad-like Cityflo,” said the other person who realized this matter directly.
For comparison, Cityflo based in Bombai operates 450 buses in the city. Cityflo launched his operations in Delhi in March this year. Cityflo operates air -conditioned buses in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi for office commuting.
At about the same time, Uber introduced the Shuttle Service in Hyderabad to close it within a few months.
Meanwhile, Uber doubled to Delhi-NCR. In January, Uber began offering unlimited free shuttle rides between Delhi and Grrabogram, valid until February 20, 2025, according to the company’s press release. Since December 2024, Uber Shuttle has worked on about 300 routes in Delhi.
Uber Shuttle was launched in Mumbai in September 2021, closing less than four years later. At that time, the company said the service would remove “stress and time to suck traffic jams and costs and difficulty finding a parking space and by facilitating people to give up their cars, the service can reduce overload, pollution and emissions in our cities.”
“Low riding and high operating costs seem to be the primary reasons for shutdown,” said the analyst of the mobility industry and demanded anonymity. “Uber strongly discounted rides, but every way needs at least 50-60% seat occupancy to break even-and it’s hard to keep without consistent demand.”
Previously the Amazon-Focused Shuttl stopped operating in June 2021, before the acquisition of Chalo. Ola Shuttle was officially closed on February 3, 2018 after decreased in several cities, including Delhi-NCR, bombje, Calcutta, Chennai and Hyderabad. Zipgo suspended operations in February 2019 and initially pulled out from Bengalur and Bombai before winding the operation elsewhere.
