Uber today announced that it has expanded cash as a payment option in Kolkata, Bengaluru and Delhi. Riders in Kolkata, Bengaluru and Delhi will now have the option of paying by cash for their Uber rides other than using debit/credit cards and digital wallets like PayTM, Airtel Money. Also, dynamic pricing/surge pricing will be disabled in both cities from 7 am to 9 pm.
