India's first open network mobility app, Namma Yatri, is set to join hands with the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to address a long-standing issue for commuters - last-mile connectivity.
Namma Yatri, operated by Juspay Technologies, started on the lines of a digital cooperative where auto drivers would have a say in the functions of the app
A Namma Yatri spokesperson has said that the app represents the entire driver community and is not exclusively affiliated with any single union.
The pilot project was started at Jayanagar and the RV Road Metro Station. The aim of the ARDU is to get around 1,000 drivers for the Metro Mitra, but so far only 169 drivers have registered. The initial months of the pilot have been very slow, with only 10 rides per day.
New players are entering the city’s app-based autorickshaw segment, currently dominated by Ola-Uber
