Uber expands to another city of Sindh

After launching services in Islamabad and Rawalpindi last month, the ride-hailing company Uber is now available in yet another city, Hyderabad.

The motive of expanding its operations in Pakistan has led to the launch of Uber service in Hyderabad, making it the second city in the province of Sindh, and the fifth city in Pakistan.

Uber Pakistan General Manager Safee Shah told local media about the launch, “We are proud to launch in Hyderabad which we feel is a market with great potential. We have set the standard for connecting people to world-class transport at the touch of a button and moving millions around the world every day. This launch is very exciting for us, and is aligned with our expansion plans in the country and goal to continue to provide people with safe, reliable and affordable transportation.”

“By offering a friendly and reliable complement to existing transport options, we can help improve urban mobility in Pakistan while creating new, fruitful opportunities for driver-partners. Ultimately, we hope to reduce the strain on the city’s roads, and minimize the environmental impact of traffic congestion that is part of a growing economy,” he added.

Following the latest launch, Uber is celebrating its expansion by offering free rides to all Hyderabad residents who can enjoy 5 free rides up to Rs.300 each between May 4 and 7 May.

In 8 years, Uber has stretched its services in over 450+ cities in 75 countries spanning six continents. The service made inroads in the Pakistani market back in 2015 and was an instant success.
