Delhi Metro launches integrated travel solution with Sarthi-Momentum 2.0 app

New Delhi: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation ( DMRC ) has launched an integrated travel solution on the ‘DMRC Sarthi-Momentum 2.0 ' app, enabling commuters to book bike taxis and auto-rickshaws for first and last-mile journeys along with metro tickets in a single transaction.

"Developed in collaboration with Autope Payment Solutions Ltd, this initiative eliminates the need for multiple bookings and bridges the crucial gap between metro stations and final destinations, enhancing commuter convenience," said Anuj Dayal, principal executive director, corporate communications, DMRC.

For booking a bike taxi or auto-rickshaw, the user enters the destination, and the app suggests the nearest metro stations and best first/last-mile transport options. "A bike taxi or auto-rickshaw is booked for pickup from the user's location to the nearest metro station. Before reaching the destination station, another ride is booked for last-mile connectivity," explained a DMRC official. The official added that if the metro station is within walking distance, the app does not suggest a vehicle. A walking navigation option will be available soon.

DMRC has partnered with Rapido, which will offer bike taxi and auto-rickshaw services, and with SheRyds, a women-led startup which will offer bike taxi services exclusively to female metro commuters.

"The service offers commuters a one-stop solution for metro tickets and last-mile travel, ensuring quicker, cost-effective, and reliable connectivity with seamless ride access through DMRC's trusted platform," said Dayal.

Vikas Kumar, managing director, DMRC, said, "With the launch of this integrated service, we are addressing one of the most pressing challenges in urban commuting—first and last-mile connectivity. Sarthi-Momentum 2.0 makes metro travel more accessible, efficient, and convenient for all."
