Namma Yatri is an open mobility application developed by Juspay Technologies to empower drivers by providing direct access to customers without intermediaries. The app operates on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) platform. The company offers its services in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Tumakuru.

After successfully operating in cities in south Karnataka, Namma Yatri, one of the leading mobile applications for ride booking, was launched in Kalaburagi on October 8.

Kalaburagi South MLA Allamaprabhu Patil launched the app for public use at the district administrative complex, in the presence of Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Fouzia Taranum, officials from transport and police departments, and auto drivers.

Terming the app a game-changer that could revolutionise urban commute in towns and cities across the Kalyana Karnataka region, Mr. Patil called upon auto and cab drivers and the general public to make use of the app that offers a win-win situation for both commuters and drivers.

After the launch, Mr. Patil and Ms. Taranum distributed Namma Yatri kits to the partner drivers. They later took a ride in an auto near the district administrative complex.

Naveen Kumar, a community ambassador for Namma Yatri, said that drivers feel empowered with the app.

“It is easy for customers to book rides, and they get picked up at their doorstep. The fares are fair and transparent, which builds trust with passengers. The drivers earn more, and commuters pay less as there are no commission agents between them.  It’s a win-win situation for both drivers and the people,” Mr. Kumar said.
