Gurugram, April 28

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) will start a special ‘Uber’ bus service.

The board of directors, Gurugram Metropolitan City Bus Limited, has decided to start a special bus service wherein commuters can book their rides through Uber app.

This special bus service will initially be run on pilot basis for a period of nine months with two buses each plying on both the routes. The routes planned, include Badshahpur Bus Stand to HUDA City Centre Metro Station (UP-down) and BPTP Astaire Garden Sector 70 to DLF Cyber Park Shankar Chowk (UP-down).

Under this arrangement, Uber will enable booking of a seat in the bus through its app. The timings for the buses on these routes will be morning 7 am till 12 noon and evening 3 pm till 8 pm.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
