Uber Launches Rickshaw Service in India

Uber has unveiled a new ride-sharing service in the Indian capital: auto rickshaws.

Users can hail the autos via the Uber app and then pay with cash at the end of the ride.

“Autos are an iconic and ubiquitous part of the Delhi landscape and we are excited to have them as another option on the Uber platform,” the company posted on its website.
