The US-based online taxi-hailing company, Uber, cut prices across its three cab categories, UberGO, UberX and UberBLACK, by up to 40 percent in India in a bid to woo back potential customers after the Delhi rape incident.
The latest revised fare is applicable to cities like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Pune. Interestingly, the fare in Kolkata remains untouched; however, reports indicate a price drop in Kolkata is likely in near future.
