Hi,
Uber has launched it’s services in Lahore. they claim it to it be safe, inexpensive and comfortable rides in Lahore. you just have to download it’s app.
i’ve used their taxis in India…i found it to be excellent. their rates are cheaper and the drivers are usually courteous and knowledgeable about their cities.
i used in Allahabad where the rates were as follows. the best thing about them is that their cars are newer models, clean and are fully air conditioned. they do NOT blare songs of their choice.
-initial charges Rs. 50
-per kilometer charge Rs. 13 [Rs. 8 during off-peak hours (10am to 3 pm)]
-waiting charges Re. 1 per minute [Rs. 60 per hour]
-they go long distances as well. you will be charged for FULL (Rs. 3000] or Half Day [Rs.2000]. i used to hire them to take me to my village [38 kms away]
-they have mini, full size cars and SUV’s.
however, as far as safety is concerned for it’s female passengers, a woman was raped by the driver late at night in Delhi. the driver was arrested and is now facing trials.**
since the attack, there has been changes in the rules and now they are much safer.**
