* Launch is on 9th October at Taj Vivanta MG Road at 2 pm. Data is a powerful tool to help governments plan, analyze, and enhance mobility. For long, there has been a lack of credible and meaningful data sharing among industry and government in this sector.Towards bridging this gap, Uber is launching a public dataset and website containing aggregated travel data for Bengaluru, Karnataka - a first of its kind in this State and city. This dataset called Movement <https://movement.uber.com/?lang=hi-IN>, is part of Uber's campaign to enhance the nature and impact of policy making and policy planning by supporting governments, academic institutions and the general public in their effort to understand their city better <https://movement.uber.com/explore/bangalore/travel-times/charts?lang=hi-IN&lat.=12.9258492584708&lng.=77.61168596500231&z.=11.186860088865364&si=82&ti=156&ag=wards&dt[tpb]=AM&dt[wd;]=1,2,3,4,5&dt[dr][sd]=2018-01-01&dt[dr][ed]=2018-01-31&cd[tpb]=AM&cd[wd;]=6,7&cd[dr][sd]=2018-01-01&cd[dr][ed]=2018-01-31&sa;=77.60134000000001,12.981258&sdn=Infantry%20Road,%20Shivaji%20Nagar,%20Bengaluru,%20Karnataka&ta;=77.6295647,12.9347173&tdn=Third%20Wave%20Coffee%20Roasters%20%7C%20Koramangala,%201%204th%20Block,%20984,%2080%20Feet%20Rd,%20Maharaja%20Signal,%20AVS%20Layout,%20Koramangala,%20Bengaluru,%20Karnataka>.
