Uber is offering a special ride to Delhiites on this Valentine's Day. Though it is not a new idea -- the taxi app company has offered similar rides earlier -- Uber said that tomorrow it will offer limited number of chopper rides at a price of Rs.5,000. For the rides, which will allow two people to go up in the air, the company has tied up with EuroCopter and Asian Haus.
"There are times in your life when you need to step it up. Give your significant other an experience that create memories for a lifetime... So your Uber Delhi Team decided to make it easy for you to put together an epic date and help you kick it up a notch this Valentine's," said the company. "Hold your breath, Delhi. We're bringing you a chance to request a helicopter (that's right!) through your Uber app! Say hello to UberCHOPPER!"
As for how this will work, here is what Uber noted:
-- Ensure your linked Paytm wallet has a minimum Rs.5000 balance.
-- Select #UberCHOPPER in the Uber app and request.
-- We'll give you a call for final confirmation.
-- An UberBLACK will pick you up along with your date, and transport you to the helipad.
-- The chopper ride will last 20 minutes.
-- Your UberBLACK will be ready and waiting for your arrival to take you for a lunch by the pool side courtesy Asian Haus.
Uber said that Rs.5,000 is inclusive of everything. This means users won't have to pay anything extra for the whole package.
Obviously, only a limited number of chopper rides will be available. So it is possible that everyone who requests a chopper tomorrow may not get it.
Uber, which has seen its reputation tarnished after one of the Uber drivers raped a woman in NCR, is trying hard to win back the trust of both government and commuters. The chopper rides are latest in the series of initiatives that Uber has taken to increase its popularity and build trust in Delhi region.
