“I am excited about the launch of uberMOTO in Noida and Ghaziabad. It’s a quick, easy and affordable way to get around the cities and we are thankful to the government for supporting this vision towards solving for mobility needs and creating economic opportunities. With the launch in Noida and Ghaziabad, we aim to give riders an opportunity to travel smartly across NCR without worrying about issues like traffic, congestion and last mile connectivity,” said Prabhjeet Singh, General Manager, Delhi NCR and North India, Uber, in a statement.
