To mark this momentous milestone, Uber has launched a limited-period product called Motorhome— a first-of-its-kind caravan that provides a premium, comfort-first experience. These Intercity Motorhomes will be available from August 7 to September 6, with bookings opening on August 4 through the Uber app, which will display a dedicated icon for the product.
Over the past 12 months, the most popular intercity routes have been Mumbai–Pune, Delhi–Agra, Bangalore–Mysore, Lucknow–Kanpur, and Ahmedabad–Vadodara, particularly during long weekends and holidays. Fridays led the trend for weekend getaways, with most riders choosing to travel either early in the morning or during lighter traffic hours between 2 PM and 3 PM.
Rider activity spiked further around major festive seasons like Diwali, Holi, Eid, and the busy summer wedding months. Round trips are increasingly being booked for leisure getaways, pilgrimages, and event-related travel, while one-way intercity rides largely cater to visits with family and friends, business trips, and first- or last-mile connections to airports and railway stations.
