Ensuring reliability, affordability and economic mobility in Kolkata

Kolkata, over the last 2 and a half years, we have loved moving you around. Rest assured, we will continue to strive for a better Uber experience each time. 

As Uber continues to grow in Kolkata, 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.

To align closer with these goals, we’re rolling out a minor adjustment to our fares on uberGO and uberX, on 10th April 2017. While this increase takes effect, Uber remains the most affordable and reliable ride in Kolkata. You can find the updated uberGO and uberX fare breakdown below.

SAMPLE FARES WITH NEW PRICES:

Park Circus to Howrah Station (10.9km)

*Sample fares are estimates and may very depending on time of day, distance & other factors.

Fun Fact: If you ride uberPOOL, uberGO or uberX, it’s cheaper than owning your own car.

SO, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOUR TRIPS?

uberGO continues to be your most affordable and reliable option; the per km fare remains the same at Rs 7, while the ‘base fare’ has increased to Rs.40. Your fare will increase by Rs. 5 only. Uber continues to be your most affordable and reliable option. As always, uberPOOL can be up to 50% more affordable than uberGO. And 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 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.

Uber on, Kolkata.
