New Delhi, 2 Dec 2017: Joining hands with Delhi Traffic Police, we have launched our “Don’t Drink and Drive” initiative in Delhi to help spread awareness on drunk driving incidents and promote road safety. Setting another example of how law enforcement authorities and industry can work in unison to tackle the menace of drunk driving, the campaign aims to discourage people from driving under the influence of alcohol during the month of December in the capital city.
Focusing on hubs and areas in the capital city with the most number of bars and high volumes of trips at night, Uber and Delhi Traffic Police have set up “Don’t Drink and Drive Kiosks” at Khan market, Saket, Connaught Place and Hauz Khas Village from 9 pm to 2 am during the month of December. To discourage people from driving, when they are likely to be under the influence of alcohol, Uber will offer a 50 percent discount (upto Rs. 75) on trips taken between 9 pm to 2 am. Promotional codes will also be available at “Don’t Drink and Drive Kiosks” and at all police check-points in the form of flyers with a message to not drink and drive along with the code
Commenting on the joint initiative Prabhjeet Singh, General Manager, North & Delhi NCR, Uber India said “Uber India is committed to promoting road safety and reducing incidents of drunk driving by providing an effective alternative. We are proud of our association with the Delhi Traffic Police to address a critical issue of road safety in the city. With this collaborative initiative we aim to reduce road traffic violations and casualties in some proportion and with the support of the Delhi Traffic Police, urge Delhiites to pledge to not drink and drive”
