Uber Launches Safety Helpline

Uber on Wednesday launched a 24×7 safety helpline for its customers in Chandigarh. The helpline is intended to make the journey safer.

Riders can tap on a shield icon and then swipe to speak to an Uber representative.

The helpline is not a substitute for ‘100’, the company clarified and said it encourages users to use the national emergency line (100) in case of a safety-related incident.

The company will roll out the service in other cities soon.
