Uttar Pradesh Introduces App-Based E-Rickshaw Service for Mahakumbh 2025

The eco-friendly initiative, launching December 15, includes women-driven 'Pink Taxis' and aims to enhance transportation for 45 crore devotees in Prayagraj.

• The Uttar Pradesh government will launch an online booking platform for e-rickshaws and e-autos starting December 15 to support the Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj.
• The initiative is part of the Green Mahakumbh program, promoting eco-friendly transportation and reducing air pollution during the event expected to attract 45 crore visitors.
• A fleet of 300 GPS-tracked e-rickshaws will operate across Prayagraj and the Mahakumbh area, with transparent, per-kilometer fares to avoid arbitrary charges.
• A 'Pink Taxi' service, operated exclusively by women drivers, will prioritize the safety and comfort of women devotees attending the religious festival.
• Comfy E Mobility, a UP-based startup, is leading the initiative, offering trained and verified drivers, Google Voice Assistance, and a dedicated call center for customer support.
