Ridesharing company Uber has recently lowered its fares and has made the cab trip more affordable. In India, the cab aggregator has decided to bring down its prices for short as well as long rides across the country The company stated, 


Whether it’s a short trip to the local store or a long ride across town, an Uber ride is now even more economical – regardless of where you’re headed – because we’ve dropped our fares across the country. These price-cuts were designed with you in mind."


The company came up with a message for those who like going on long drives or short business trips which said, “On longer trips, you’ll end up saving more money per ride. And on shorter, more frequent trips, the savings add up through the week to make your money go further.”
