Uber Will Pay ₹7,500 If Bad Roads In Mumbai Cause You To Miss A Flight

|March 13, 2025
One of the many challenges Maximum City poses for its citizens today is navigating its excavated arterial and internal roads.
MUMBAI: Frayed nerves of commuters often lead to extreme reactions — spells of road rage or satire. Such is the severity of the situation that Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which is carrying out work on 701 kilometers of roads, recently suspended fresh plans of digging to prevent disruption of people's movement.
To placate on-the-edge passengers, cab aggregator Uber has allowed compensation of up to ₹7,500 when they miss a domestic or international flight due to delays on the road under the 'Missed Flight Connection Cover'. Additionally, the aggregator also promised OPD and medical costs incurred in cases of accident.
