Delhi govt to launch single ticket system for multiple modes of transport, including autorickshaws, buses, cabs & metro.
The Delhi government will soon launch a system under which people in the city will be able to travel on multiple modes of transportation using a single ticket, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said on Wednesday.
The Minister told The Hindu that the Delhi Transport Department is in initial stages of giving shape to the idea.
Commuters will be able to board autorickshaws, buses, cabs and the metro using a single ticket, which will be available online, he added.
“The Transport Department will allow commuters to buy these tickets from the Open Network For Digital Commerce (ONDC) and avail different commute options from aggregator platforms that have signed up with the platform,” said Mr. Gahlot.
“You can book a ticket online, step out of your house, board the autorickshaw, then a metro or bus, all with that one ticket,” he added.
The Minister said his department is yet to determine ticket rates and still in the process of finalising the multi-modal integration needed for the seamless working of the system.
