Uber adds CNG auto-rickshaws in the capital

Ride-sharing service Uber has included CNG auto-rickshaws as part of its array of vehicles available for ridesharing in Dhaka city.

Accessing the app earlier yesterday, users noticed a 'CNG' option popping up alongside the regular UberX, Premier, Moto and UberXL options, when choosing a destination within Dhaka.

Since 2017, a faction of CNG auto-rickshaw owners and drivers have been campaigning to join the ride sharing services, citing a decline in the number of passengers.

Earlier in 2019, Uber had launched CNG auto-rickshaw services in Chattogram.
