MUMBAI: In a move that’s set to bowl fans over, Uber has launched a free Uber Shuttle Fan Bus service for Delhi NCR cricket lovers heading to the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Just in time for the peak of the cricket season, this initiative promises to hit the sweet spot between convenience and cricket mania.

From April 16, five specially curated Uber Shuttle routes will ferry cricket fans from across Delhi, Noida, and Gurugram straight to the stadium gates on match days i.e. 16, 27, 29 April  and 11 May. The service is Uber’s way of blending love for the game with seamless city travel.

Speaking on the initiative, Uber Shuttle head of strategy Snehashish Nag said, “We’re turning up the game day experience with Uber Shuttle - fast, reliable, and with zero stress. Booking’s a breeze, rides are smooth, and getting to the match is effortless with drop-offs right in front of the stadium. In Delhi, this is the ride fans can count on. It’s our way of moving smarter while also helping decongest roads on match days.”

To add to the cricketing spirit, the Uber app is also getting into match mode with vehicle icons sporting cricket-themed avatars for the duration of the tournament. Because, why should jerseys have all the fun?

The Uber Shuttle programme aims to complement public transport, making travel safer, smarter, and more sustainable. Whether it’s airports, offices, or now stadiums, Uber is betting big on plug-and-play city mobility. And if you’re planning to ride in, here’s how to book your match-day magic:
