Uber today announced its support for the third phase of India’s vaccination drive with free rides worth Rs 1.5 crores for the residents of Delhi (NCR).

Uber’s Rs 1.5 crores support package for the Government of Delhi is a part of its recently announced pledge to support the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), State Governments and local NGOs with free rides worth Rs 10 crores across 34 Indian cities, including Delhi.

The free rides can be utilised by everyone eligible for vaccination, to travel to and from the nearest authorised vaccination centre. These free rides can be obtained through easily redeemable promo codes, making travel to authorised vaccination hubs easier and safer.

In addition to supporting the vaccination drive, these free rides will further boost earning opportunities for drivers on Uber’s platform during these challenging times.
