Back in July we reported that Ola in India were soon to launch a shuttle service , and it seems that the service will be officially announced today , and go live on September 21 . The service will be available initially in two areas , Bangalore and Gurgaon ( near Delhi ) , with 500 shuttles on six routes , and further services will be launched in the next quarter . (For those in the U.S., it’s not unlike the service Via, which is offering an urban shuttle service initially in NYC.) Sundeep Sahni , VP of New Initiatives at Ola , says that the shuttle service will target commuters who might otherwise opt for taking their own cars , bikes or auto - rickshaws . Rides will cost less than $ 1 , compared to the average $ 2 price of a ride in a private taxi .
