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.
