“We are really excited about partnering with ixigo to offer their customers a seamless and hassle free road travel experience, to and from railway stations in over 28 cities across India. We are rolling out special promotions for riders taking their first Uber ride through ixigo trains app and encouraging them to travel around the city at the push of a button,” said India Business Development Lead Uber, Nandini Maheshwari.

“Train travellers often face the frustration of being waitlisted, and buses are a common substitute for train travel in India. ixigo’s market-leading train app will now offer comfortable bus seats with state and private bus operators across 70,000 bus routes in India. This partnership opens up a valuable new market segment for redBus,” said Vice President redBus, Manoj Agarwala.
