Ride-sharing platform BlaBlaCar will launch a new feature that will allow its users in Delhi to offer rides on specific days depending on their number plates in compliance with the state government's proposed odd-even formula. The formula is designed to limit the number of cars on the road, whereby only cars with either odd or even numbered plates are allowed on the road on certain days. According to an official statement from the company, this initiative was launched as part of efforts by the government to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in Delhi. BlaBlaCar now has 15,000 seats available for intra-NCR commute and expects robust demand for those. Now that the (Delhi) government has proposed the odd-even formula, our platform will soon allow people to show the availability on specific dates depending on their number plates," BlaBlaCar Country Manager India Raghav Gupta said.
