The newly launched Uber service, a platform for connecting drivers to riders, has just signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). The MoU is a step forward by Uber to improve the safety net of people who will be using this service in the country.
According to the partnership, PITB will be facilitating Uber in background checks of people who sign up for Uber. The background checks will involve record of ownership, driving history and criminal record of drivers. While talking about the partnership, Umar Saif, Chairman PITB said,
