Uber India partners with Kolkata Police’s citizen safety mobile app, Bondhu as part of its safety drive
Uber has recently launched a number of safety initiatives and features as part of its UberSAFE campaign in India, in a bid to ensure customers have a safe ride.
As part of the partnership, riders and drivers will be able to download the Bondhu app from within the Uber App. The second phase will allow users to directly access the Bondhu app from within the Uber app. The last phase will see an API Integration between both apps.
Vineet Kumar Goyal, additional commissioner of Police (I), Kolkata Police, said: “ Bondhu app has been an integral technological innovation in providing instant help to our citizens in distress across the city. We have now streamlined the process of providing safety via Bondhu app which makes it easier for our citizens rather than key in the control room number."
"We welcome this approach of Uber for integrating Bondhu App with Uber App to improve reach so that more people across the city, who are in need of immediate aid during any kind of distress can use this app. We are glad that Uber has taken such a major step in safeguarding the security of all citizens of the city. We look forward towards making this initiatives go a long way.”
Uber recently unveiled its first TVC in India inspired by real rider and driver partner stories.
