        Uber Seeks Data Sharing System To Fix Bengaluru Traffic


        Auto extracted Text……

        Cab-hailing giant Uber, in collaboration with Bangalore Political Action Committee (B.PAC), has reached out to the Karnataka government to set up a secure data sharing mechanism to allow private players and citizen groups share insights from travel and transport data.
        It has asked the government to allow private players to run shuttle, bike, auto-sharing and car-pooling services.
        Other players in the shared mobility segment such as Bounce, QuickRide, Ola and other 500 stakeholders like Resident Welfare Associations and the government have also shared their insights.
        The mobility report also claimed that tracking green trips and green miles travelled would be a better gauge for early electric vehicle adoption, and the focus should be on incentivising on the basis of the number of km run on electric power, which would encourage commercial adoption.
        The recommendation is a part of a sustainable mobility report for Bengaluru, which also sought several other steps from the government to tackle the traffic problems in the city notorious for them.
        “Bengaluru stands to be the most traffic-congested city in the world… However, the administration is yet to create a conducive environment for the economic viability of shared mobility options,” the report read.
        The report recommends that the government should look into a public-private partnership to build a strong public transport network in the region.
        Besides this, the report has asked the state government to look into integrating efficient, affordable and safety-first last-mile solutions to encourage the commuters to take public transport, instead of private vehicles.
        The development comes a few days after the Karnataka government decided to look into “Electric Bike Taxi” project, under which it is looking to deploy more electric two-wheelers as taxis on Bengaluru roads in order to improve last-mile connectivity around public transportation
