Online ride-sharing service Uber has shut down its operations in Lahore almost a year and a half after shutting down its services in five major cities in Pakistan.
The company has sent an email to its customers to inform them of its sudden decision, which was announced without any prior warning.
The ride-sharing company did not reveal the reasons for its sudden decision to pull out of Lahore. However, Uber is offering a Careem discount as part of the compensation. Customers can enter the code LHR50 to get 50 percent off their next five rides on Cream.
Uber has sent an email to its customers in Lahore, saying, “We’ve made the decision to cease operating the Uber app in Pakistan. Our subsidiary brand Careem will continue to operate, with the Careem app offering ride-hailing services across Pakistan.”
In 2022, Uber had stopped its services in five major cities in Pakistan including Islamabad and Karachi.
