Well-known ride-hailing app Uber is ceasing operations in a number of Pakistani cities. The ride-sharing service just stated that it will cease operations in Islamabad, Karachi, Multan, Faisalabad, and Peshawar, among other places. The termination is effective as of right now.
The Uber app will now notify you that it is no longer accessible in your city if you attempt to use it in any of the aforementioned cities. Instead, it advises you to use Careem, which Uber purchased back in 2020, to make a ride reservation.

The identical prompt might not show up for everyone, however some people will see greyed-out alternatives while trying to schedule a ride. Now, when you attempt to book a trip, a notification stating “Unfortunately, Uber is presently unavailable in your location” will appear.
Uber does point out that the service is still available in Lahore, though, to its customers. Here is what the business has to say:
“For the past five years, we are grateful to have been part of your everyday life to help you move around those five cities using the Uber app. See you in Lahore!”
Uber has been contacted by us for further information. As soon as we receive a response in writing, we’ll keep you informed with further details.
