Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Yatri mobility app, launched by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, is revolutionizing travel in the state by making auto and cab bookings seamless and stress-free. In just 45 days since its launch, the app has successfully completed over 1 lakh rides, marking a significant milestone in urban mobility.
The rapid adoption of Odisha Yatri highlights the growing trust among commuters in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, who are embracing the app for its safety, transparency, and ease of use. Supported by the Odisha government, the app has quickly become the preferred choice for daily travelers, ensuring a smooth and reliable commuting experience.
A Focus on Safety and Transparency
Designed with both passengers and drivers in mind, Odisha Yatri offers real-time trip tracking, clear pricing, and integration with the Odisha Police 112 emergency response system. Passengers can also share their trip details with family and friends, enhancing safety and fostering trust in the service.
Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms, Odisha Yatri operates on a zero-commission model, allowing drivers to retain 100% of their earnings. This initiative not only increases driver income but also encourages better service quality, ensuring safer and more customer-friendly rides.
A Community-Driven Approach
The app’s success lies in its community-driven model, directly connecting drivers and passengers while eliminating middlemen. This unique approach has strengthened user confidence, positioning Odisha Yatri as a transformative force in the state’s transportation sector. Affordable fares and enhanced convenience have further contributed to its growing popularity among commuters.
“As Odisha Yatri continues to set new standards, it reaffirms its commitment to safety, transparency, and innovation. With every ride, the app is bringing Odisha closer to a smarter, more connected future—one that focuses on seamless, secure, and empowering travel for everyone,” said Usha Padhee, Principal Secretary of the Commerce and Transport Department.
Expanding for a Smarter Future
With its rapid success, Odisha Yatri is now gearing up for further expansion. Future updates will include real-time public transport tracking, integration with the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC), AI-powered safety features, and multi-modal travel planning. These enhancements aim to strengthen Odisha Yatri’s role in building a smart, efficient, and sustainable mobility system, benefiting millions of daily commuters and drivers.
As Odisha Yatri paves the way for a more accessible and intelligent urban transportation system, it remains committed to its vision of providing a safer, smarter, and more inclusive travel experience for all.
