Bengaluru: Namma yatri introduces ‘namma transit’ to connect metro, autos, cabs on one platform
Bengaluru: Bengaluru-based ride-hailing app Namma Yatri has launched a new feature called Namma Transit, aimed at making daily travel easier by combining different modes of transport, metro trains, auto-rickshaws, and cabs, on a single platform.
The feature is designed to help commuters plan their journey more efficiently. It provides real-time updates such as which metro station to go to, which gate or platform to use, and when to switch between different modes of transport. Currently, Namma Transit is available to a limited number of users, but the company says it will be rolled out to all users within a week.
This initiative comes at a time when Bengaluru’s average commute time has increased by 16% over the past year, with a 19-kilometre journey now taking around 63 minutes. Namma Yatri’s new service is part of ongoing efforts to ease traffic, improve public transport access, and reduce the use of private vehicles in the city.
The platform also supports better first- and last-mile connectivity, which is often a challenge for public transport users. By offering a more connected travel experience, Namma Transit hopes to make commuting in Bengaluru more straightforward and sustainable.

23-year-old woman found dead at Delhi home; suicide suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
