App-based ride hailing platform Uber India has shared the consumer usage pattern data for 2019, which saw Delhi and Bengaluru recording the highest and the second-highest number of Uber trips overall, followed by Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai, respectively.

In terms of ride sharing, Bengaluru was the city with the highest number of people opting for Uber Pool rides, followed by Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.

The month of November and December witnessed the highest usage among Indians (on the Uber platform); December 7 saw the maximum Uber rides in India across 2019.

The analysis further reveals that when it comes to travelling during festive seasons, Holi was the favourite festive season for Indians to use Uber, followed by Dussehra, then Diwali.

Uber India says the top three international cities that saw the maximum rides by Indian travellers were London, San Francisco, and Doha. Meanwhile, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru were top three cities to see international travellers travelling in India avail Uber rides.

It comes as no surprise, that when it comes to late night/early morning travel, western India is officially the sleepless region of 2019 in India, with the highest percentage of Uber trips between 2am and 5am taken in Mumbai, Surat, and Ahmedabad.
