Saving fuel through ride-sharing

As part of its contribution to ‘World Environment Day’, Uber has released a ‘Green Index’ over the weekend. According to the indiex, the launch of uberPOOL in the city helped save 4,64,000 litres of fuel and 9,880,000km travelled, thereby curbing 1,094,000kg CO2 emission.

Speaking about the initiative, Deepak Reddy, GM, Uber Hyderabad said, “Using public transportation and ridesharing is a responsible way to combat traffic congestion and rising pollution levels in the city. With the launch of uberPOOL Hyderabad, our goal was to get more people in fewer cars at the tap of a button.

We are thrilled that in just a year since launch, over 29 per cent of the total Uber trips in the city were on uberPOOL, with riders in Madhapur, Kondapur, Gachibowli, Panjagutta and Ameerpet clocking the highest number of trips.”
