Uber partners Gurgaon Police to curb drunken driving

April 28, 2016 20:32

Online taxi aggregator Uber today said it has partnered with Gurgaon Police for installing breathalysers at bars and pubs in a bid to help them curb drunken driving in the city.

The first four Uber Breathalysers have been installed at DLF Cyber Hub.

The Uber Breathalyser is a kiosk that calculates the blood alcohol content in a person's body through an app that is fixed to the device.

If the person's BAC is higher than 0.03, they are advised to avoid driving and instead take a cab.

Earlier this month, Ola had partnered with Delhi Police for a similar initiative in Delhi.

Gurgaon is the second city to launch Uber Breathalysers after Mumbai.
