To make their rider experience better and to deal with the poor quality of cellular data services of in India, Uber has now decided to mend ways and make an easy option of ordering a cab.
“We have opened up our API platform for developers to come in and create content and apps to make rider experiences better,” Dimitry Shevelenko, head of business for Uber’s developer platform said. Dimitry further said that a team in Bengaluru has sent out an app that will help the riders book a ride via SMS.
The app named SMSRide is currently in its testing phase and if it’s a success it would be rolled out in March. The company also revealed that it will be reducing their rates and increase the cars count in the country. Uber currently has the cheapest and the best rates when compared to their rivals in India.
