Urban Delhi just got more connected: DMRC’s pact with Sahkar Taxi introduces a pioneering last-mile service, fusing metro efficiency with reliable cab access. This isn’t just a tie-up; it’s a blueprint for tomorrow’s public transit.
Booking is effortless – scan a station QR, select destination, and your cab arrives in minutes. Integrated payments, shared itineraries for groups, and eco-ratings for vehicles empower choice. Launching on high-ridership lines, it expands with Magenta Line Phase IV.
Sahkar’s cooperative model disrupts traditional ride-hailing by empowering drivers as owners, yielding lower fares (20% below market) and higher uptime. Safety protocols rival global standards: live video feeds, SOS integration with police, and insurance covers.
Data from DMRC’s surveys revealed 55% drop-off in metro usage due to last-mile woes; this fixes it head-on. Projections indicate 3 lakh daily rides initially, generating jobs for 10,000 drivers while decongesting roads.
Environmental wins are baked in: 50% EV fleet from Day 1, partnering with NTPC for green charging. During the virtual launch, CM Arvind Kejriwal termed it ‘Delhi’s mobility milestone,’ aligning with Odd-Even extensions.
Feedback loops via app ratings will refine operations, with AI chatbots for instant resolutions. For tourists navigating the city, multilingual support and landmark pickups add convenience.
As rival cities watch closely, Delhi Metro sets the pace in integrated transit. This service doesn’t just connect stations to streets – it connects dreams of a traffic-free capital to reality.
