The American international transportation business Uber Technologies, which offers ride-hailing services in over 70 countries, has formally introduced its “Uber for Teens” program in India. Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, and Lucknow are among the 37 cities in the nation where it has been introduced thus far.
The device is “designed to provide safe, reliable, and convenient transport solutions specifically tailored for teenagers in India aged between 13 and 17 years of age,” according to the business.
GPS monitoring, real-time trip tracking, and an in-app emergency button are just a few of the stringent safety measures that are included with the service.
What Is Uber For Teens?
With Uber for Teens, parents can create accounts for their 13 to 17-year-old children so they may travel safely and freely. Parents may make sure that only drivers with excellent ratings take care of teen travels, follow rides in real-time, and receive notifications.
The correct driver is confirmed using a PIN verification mechanism. For extra security, certain areas allow ride recording. Teens may use the app to call emergency services. Teens are given independence while safe, supervised travel is ensured through a family profile.
