Uber fares chart: Tariffs get slashed; check savings rates in Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and more

Uber fares chart: Cab aggregator Uber has slashed its fares, and is now even more affordable, it says. In India, the company has decided to lower transportation charges for short trip and also for long rides across town. It stated, "Whether it’s a short trip to the local store or a long ride across town, an Uber ride is now even more economical – regardless of where you’re headed – because we’ve dropped our fares across the country. These price-cuts were designed with you in mind." 

For those who like to go on long drives for family get-togethers or even short business trips, Uber had this message, "On longer trips, you’ll end up saving more money per ride. And on shorter, more frequent trips, the savings add up through the week to make your money go further."
 
Uber indicated how much money travellers could save on Uber rides each week, with their new #EverydayLowFares. It added, "Weekly savings are projected at an average of 7 rides each week. Final fares will be visible up front in the app before booking a ride. Fares at the time of booking may vary, based on demand in your area." This can be checked across various cities - check table.

  
Making its ride better and more economical for common riders, Uber further said, "We’ve dropped our prices to make your everyday journeys more affordable. So take an Uber to 9 am meetings, afternoon matinee shows or late evening get togethers. There’s always one around the corner."
 
Meanwhile, Uber Technologies is in preliminary talks with rival Careem to combine their Middle Eastern ride-hailing services, said a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, citing three people familiar with the matter. 
 
The companies have discussed several potential deal structures and under one of them, Careem`s current leaders would manage the new combined business while retaining one or both of the companies` local brands, and another proposal would be Uber acquiring the Middle East ride-hailing app, the report added.
