Uber is piloting accounts for teenagers in India


Uber has started testing its teenagers-focused service, Uber for Teens, in India.

The company said it would expand the service in the coming weeks to 35 cities, which include Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune. Uber requires guardians in India to add a credit or debit card to their account to invite a teenager to their family profile. The move comes nearly two years after the service was launched in the U.S. and Canada, as the ride-hailing app plans to grow in India and take on domestic rivals Ola, Rapido, Namma Yatri and BluSmart.
