Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi Explores Uber Shuttle Service in Bengaluru

In a recent social media post, Uber’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dara Khosrowshahi provided a glimpse into his experience of trying out Uber’s shuttle bus service in Bengaluru, highlighting the company’s diverse mobility offerings in India.

Sharing his journey on X (formerly Twitter), Khosrowshahi posted images of himself inside the shuttle bus accompanied by colleagues involved in launching the service. His post garnered significant attention, amassing over 60,000 views and numerous interactions from users.

“Excited to check out the Uber Shuttle bus at our Bangalore office along with the hugely talented team behind it. Cars, bikes, autos, and buses – Uber in India is a one-stop mobility hub,” Khosrowshahi remarked, emphasizing Uber’s commitment to providing comprehensive transportation solutions tailored to the local context.

The post drew a range of responses from users, with some commending Khosrowshahi’s hands-on approach and others offering suggestions for further expansion and enhancement of Uber’s services in India.

“Fantastic to be able to adapt and innovate in the local context,” praised one user, reflecting on Uber’s efforts to tailor its offerings to the unique needs of the Indian market.

Encouraging broader implementation, another user suggested, “You should start these in all major cities of India… it can be a major game-changer in reducing peak-hour traffic congestion.”

Acknowledging Khosrowshahi’s leadership, a user remarked, “Setting the bar high for CEO leadership. I love it.”

However, amidst the positive feedback, some users shared their concerns and experiences with Uber’s existing services in India, highlighting areas for improvement.

Meanwhile, Uber Shuttle, an air-conditioned rideshare option operating on pre-fixed routes, continues to expand its footprint in select Indian cities including Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. This service allows customers to book seats in advance, offering a convenient and comfortable commuting option.

Khosrowshahi’s visit to India also included a meeting with Indian business magnate Gautam Adani, where both leaders expressed admiration for India’s growth trajectory and discussed their shared vision for the future.

As Uber continues to innovate and adapt to local needs, Khosrowshahi’s engagement underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing mobility solutions and contributing to India’s evolving transportation landscape.
