Uber launches 'uberKUTCHERY' in Chennai

Cab aggregator Uber has launched 'uberKUTCHERY' aimed at serving those who visit various sabhas or organisations in the city to attend music concerts, coinciding with the 'Margazhi' season.

Uber has set up booking kiosks at various sabhas including the Vani Mahal, Brahma Gana Sabha, Parthasarathy Sabha, Hamsadhwani Youth Hostel, Nada Sudha, Narada Gana Sabha and Mylapore Fine Arts. Riders can now arrive at the Sabha hassle-free, without having to worry about parking.

"It has been a great journey so far redefining urban mobility in Chennai for the last three years. We are excited to celebrate this Margazhi season by doing what we do best -- celebrating cities.. Riders can now sabha-hop with ease and not worry about parking for a ride back home," Uber-Chennai, General Manager, Arjun Srinivasan said.

The service would be available till the first week of January whereby Uber representatives at the kiosks would ensure riders can get a ride to the next sabha or back home. Uber would also launch Sabha-Hop and Ride to concerts based on the demand, the release added. Chennai, for its creativity and contribution to music, was recently included as one among the Creative Cities Network by UNESCO, taking the total number of such cities in the network to 180.
