Ensuring reliability, affordability and economic mobility in Surat

Every Uber city is different. In the last one and half years, through which we’ve served the city of Surat alongside our driver-partners, we’ve learned a lot about the choices riders make, and how those choices impact earnings for driver-partners.

In 2016, we went from moving hundreds of people to thousands. And as the number of people who choose Uber continues to grow, it is exciting to see how we’re serving each neighbourhood in Surat with a greater degree of reliability – with every passing month.

As Uber continues to grow in Surat, we want to ensure that it continues to be a high-quality platform that seamlessly connects riders to affordable transportation, and drivers to viable economic opportunities. After all, Uber works well when it works for both riders and driver-partners.

So to align closer with these goals, we’re rolling out a minor adjustment to our fares on uberGO, on 6th February 2017. While this increase takes effect, Uber remains the most reliable and affordable ride in Surat.

Here are sample fares with our new prices:

If you ride uberGO, it’s cheaper than owning your own car.

With a ₹5 change in the base fare, ₹3 change in per km fare and no change in ‘ride time fare’ per minute on uberGO, Uber continues to be your most reliable and affordable option. No change in fares per km after 11 kms. With upfront pricing in the app, you will always know exactly how much you need to pay before you take a ride – this way, you get to decide what’s best for you and your budget.

Whether you’re headed to the railway station, mall, movies or use Uber to commute daily to work and back, rely on our driver-partners to get you there hassle-free. Our goal is simple – a better, smarter way of getting from A to B that saves you money and enables an economic opportunity for driver-partners.
