Hyderabad has become the newest city to join Uber’s growing global network in Pakistan.
Hyderabad is the second city in the province of Sindh to get Uber, and the fifth city in Pakistan. Currently, Uber is available in Pakistan’s 4 key cities; Karachi, Lahore and the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Uber’s innovative technology connects riders with drivers at the touch of a button. Whether you’re heading out with friends, traveling on business, or exploring the city, Uber provides an affordable, safe and reliable way to get across Hyderabad.
Pakistan’s most popular TV Host and seasoned actress Juggun Kazim, was chosen to be Rider Zero for the launch in Hyderabad. Juggun has been a part of the Pakistani media industry for many years and has won several awards for her work as an actress.
Speaking about the launch, General Manager Uber Pakistan Mr. Safee Shah said, “We are proud to launch in Hyderabad which we feel is a market with great potential.

“By offering a friendly and reliable complement to existing transport options, we can help improve urban mobility in Pakistan while creating new, fruitful opportunities for driver-partners.
