Uber Launches Intercity Bus Ticketing in India via AbhiBus Partnership

Uber has launched intercity bus ticketing in India through a partnership with AbhiBus, marking its first global entry into the bus segment. This service, available nationwide from March 6, 2026, aims to tap into India's estimated $13 billion intercity travel market, which remains largely unorganized. Uber's approach leverages AbhiBus's existing network to offer extensive route coverage while staying asset-light. Meanwhile, Uber's shuttle business faces regulatory challenges limiting expansion beyond Delhi and Kolkata, affecting its growth plans in other cities.
