Overview
- Delhi flagged off the service on Friday when Uber Share went live for arrivals at Indira Gandhi International Airport’s Terminal 3, allowing passengers to book pooled trips through the Uber app.
- Shared pickups will operate from the airport’s Multi‑Level Car Park (MLCP) and Uber has set baggage and seating rules of one seat per rider, one checked bag and one carry‑on.
- The Delhi government projects roughly 700,000 airport passengers could benefit and about 100,000 airport‑connected vehicles might enter the shared system if operators and drivers participate.
- Officials say meaningful vehicle reductions depend on user uptake — they estimate a 20–30% adoption rate on airport routes is needed to remove thousands of single‑occupancy cars from city roads.
- Ola, Rapido and other platforms have been engaged and are expected to roll out similar airport share services within about a month, making wider impact conditional on their participation and rider acceptance.
