Ride-hailing giant Uber is piloting its ‘Uber for teens’ service in India, which allows those in the 13-17 years age to create accounts on the app to book rides.

The service is currently being piloted in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai. The company plans to expand it to 35 more cities in the country, including Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, Uber told Inc42 in a statement.

The development was first reported by TechCrunch.

Earlier, those under the age of 18 could not set up accounts on the ride-hailing app. With ‘Uber for teen’, parents or guardians can set up accounts for teenagers by providing their debit or credit card details and add them to their family profile. After this, parents and teenagers can book rides through the app.

Guardians will receive a notification each time their teen requests a ride and they can monitor the ride with live trip tracking.
