Cab aggregator Uber Wednesday said it has launched 24x7 safety helpline for its customers in the city.

The helpline has been launched based on consistent customer feedback, he added.
"This additional level of security reiterates our commitment to do everything we can to help keep people safe," Bhushan said. The safety helpline number is available under the safety toolkit banner on the Uber app.
"Rider needs to contact Uber to report a non-emergency safety incident and taps the shield icon. Secondly, riders will need to tap the safety helpline icon and then swipe to speak to an Uber representative," he said.
Replying to a question, Bhushan said, "we keep regularly taking feedback from our riders and driver partners and on the basis of this feedback and data we have gathered, we formulate roadmap and safety features".
