Uber has introduced new features in its app that allow riders to see the carbon dioxide emissions they save when opting for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid options. These features calculate the CO2 savings in comparison to traditional UberX and Uber Comfort rides of the same distance. Additionally, Uber has implemented a 'rider rating' score that monitors users' environmental impact. The company has expanded its fleet to include more than 125,000 electric vehicles, offering incentives for drivers to switch to EVs. The initiative is part of Uber's broader effort to promote sustainable transit systems, with the feature currently available in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. This allows riders in these cities to specifically book an all-electric vehicle ride through the Uber app.
