Uber keen on launching shuttle services in Bengaluru after Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad. What's stopping them?

Hindustan Times  

The cab aggregator Uber aims to launch bus shuttle services in Bengaluru to improve the mobility conditions in the tech capital. After launching the idea in Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad, Uber is now looking to enter Bengaluru with a similar idea of ferrying large numbers of people from one place to another. In an announcement, Uber said, “The mass-transit mobility solution is designed for urban commuters, featuring real-time tracking, digital payments, pre-booked seats, and air-conditioned pocket-friendly rides, running on fixed routes.” The shuttle services are also expected to play a significant role in decongesting Bengaluru traffic and improving the public transport infrastructure in the tech capital. Meanwhile, Uber India promoted the idea in the Bengaluru Tech Summit and Karnataka IT minister Priyank Kharge hopped into one of the shuttle buses.
