Rapido, the renowned commuting app, has forged a collaboration with the government-backed Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) platform, marking a significant step towards simplifying Chennai residents’ daily travels. This partnership aims to streamline the process of booking tickets for the Chennai Metro Rail Corporation (CMRL).

With CMRL witnessing an impressive daily average of 2.66 lakh passengers in 2023, totaling a remarkable 9.11 crore passengers, this collaboration promises to enhance the commuting experience for Chennai residents.

Rapido’s innovative commute planning feature now integrates various transportation modes, including bike taxis, cabs, and autos, alongside metro ticket bookings. This integration ensures a seamless and convenient experience for commuters, offering them multiple options to plan their journeys efficiently.

According to Rapido, this collaboration is expected to yield a minimum 15% surge in metro ticket purchases through its app, leveraging its established customer base. This move further simplifies the commuting process for users by allowing them to book metro tickets alongside other transportation modes.

Regarding the ios version, Rapido has confirmed that the eagerly awaited version is already in development, catering to a broader user base. This ensures that more commuters can benefit from the convenience offered by Rapido’s integrated commuting solutions.
