Ride-hailing service Uber has introduced intercity rides from Dhaka for round trips to Gazipur and Savar.

Users will be charged Tk 22 per km and Tk 3 per minute distance and time structure, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

“Aimed at enhancing the mobility experience of riders, the service will also enable seamless travel from Dhaka to Gazipur and Savar,” it reads.

To avail the service, users will have to tap the INTERCITY option on the app after entering their Gazipur or Savar destinations.

The app will show an approximate fare while the actual fare will depend on the distance travelled and time spent on the trip.

For one way trip, there will be a return fare automatically applied once a trip ends outside Dhaka service area. The return fare will be charged according to the distance travelled in Gazipur or Savar area.

In case of a round trip, fares will be calculated on the basis of distance and time spent during the entire trip.

Uber Technologies Inc, a transportation technology company headquartered in San Francisco, operates in 633 cities worldwide.

In November 2016, Uber launched its services in Dhaka and within six months become one of the fast-growing Uber-using cities in the Asia-Pacific.
