Rapido sharpens focus on Delhi, partners ONDC for metro-ride integration
Rapido, the driving greeting platform, sharpens its focus on Delhi, which has become the largest market in India. The company is now partnering with the Open-E-Commerce Network ONDC to deepen integration with public transport systems.
Rapido General Manager and founding partner Aravind Sanka, “Delhi is our biggest market. Every day more than 8 Lakh customer Rapido’yu Delhi uses only,” he said. A growing part – 1 Lakh daily rider – platform, especially to go to the subway stations, he added.
Integration with open network for digital trade allows Rapido users to reserve Delhi metro tickets directly within the application. Targeting the first and last miles connection allows vehicles to use a single platform for both bicycle drives and subway travel.
Users can plan, make reservations and pay in one place for more than one leg of going to work, making it a packaged user experience.
Metro ticketing will already be broadcast live, Bangalore and multiple Mumbai subway lines in cities such as Delhi, Kochi and Chennai. “We are excited to provide these lines,” Ondc General Manager Vibhor Jain said. “Beyond the subway, we look at mobility as a whole, and the bus ticket is a big part of this journey. I’m sure Rapido will soon live with this.”
Rapido is not the only company that is compatible with OndC’s vision of open mobility. Namma Yatri was the first person to integrate with Ondc, and he introduced the Saas model adopted by the dominant players such as Ola and Ola. In an previous interview with MintThe company, now supporting services in adjacent sectors such as ambulance and shuttle transportation, while supporting Northern India, he said.
In the meantime, Rapido is also investigating adjacent categories such as food distribution to diversify his offers and compete with Swiggy and Zomato. However, the company encountered major regulatory mishaps in Karnataka, where he broke one of the biggest markets of the blanket of bicycle taxis. It not only affected the user base, but also received a blow to one of the basic income flows.
Starting directly from Delhi Metro integration, Uber partnership with Ondc to offer UBER’s entry into the entrance to public transport over the open network. The company also plans to expand the metro ticket to three cities and discover B2B logistics services through ONDC.
