Uber has launched Asia’s first water transport service on Dal Lake.
Asia’s first water transport service, Uber Shikara, was launched on Dal Lake, Jammu, and Kashmir.
Under this initiative, tourists can now enjoy hassle-free, pre-booked shikara rides through Uber’s ride-hailing app.
Uber India and South Asia President Prabhjeet Singh inaugurated this service.
This service is currently starting with seven local shikara operators. These shikaras will be located at Nehru Park, a scenic island in the heart of Dal Lake.
Uber ensures fair pricing by adhering to government-regulated rates.
One Uber Shikara can accommodate up to four passengers and offers one-hour rides daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
It is similar to service launched by Uber at different European locations like Venice, Italy.
