Pune Metro commuters can now book QR-based metro tickets directly through the Uber app, making Pune the fifth Indian city to get this integrated service after Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai. Enabled through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), the feature was launched Friday and allows passengers to plan metro journeys, purchase tickets using UPI payments, and seamlessly connect with last-mile transport options such as Uber Auto, Bike and Go through a single platform.
Pune’s inclusion in Uber’s metro ticketing network comes amid the increasing use of integrated digital transit services across major Indian cities. During his recent India visit, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said that more than 10 million metro rides have already been booked through the Uber app in India, highlighting the growing popularity of app-based public transit integration.
Neha Kapoor, head - strategic initiatives, Uber India and South Asia, said, “Metro ticketing on Uber is making daily commuting simpler by bringing public transit and last-mile mobility together in one place. With Pune becoming the fifth city to go live, we are excited to expand a seamless, end-to-end mobility experience to more riders. More than 10 million metro journeys have already been booked through Uber across India, and we are seeing strong adoption as commuters increasingly look for faster, more connected ways to move around cities. This is a powerful example of how India’s digital public infrastructure is helping reimagine urban mobility at population scale.”
