Delhi Metro: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced major improvements for the comfort, security and convenience of passengers, with the introduction of Integrated Last Mile Connectivity Services.
The DMRC has now entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Sahkar Taxi Cooperative Ltd (STCL), which is a mobility service provider and a multi-state cooperative society operating the platform branded as ‘Bharat Taxi’.
This initiative by DMRC is focused on strengthening first- and last-mile access to the sophisticated network of Delhi Metro. The initiative also addresses the growing concerns related to air pollution in the Delhi NCR region by promoting the use of efficient, environment-friendly modes of transport.
Delhi Metro-Bharat Taxi Collaboration
An initiative of the Indian Union Ministry of Cooperation, the ‘Bharat Taxi’ platform is designed to promote cooperative-based economic models while making sure that fair and transparent service delivery is facilitated.
The collaboration between STCL and DMRC aims to offer safe, reliable and affordable connectivity services from metro stations through auto-rickshaws, cab services and taxis.
DMRC plans to launch the service from 10 Delhi NCR metro stations: New Delhi, Nehru Place, Vaishali, Sikandarpur, Millennium City Centre (Gurugram) and Botanical Garden (Noida). Lajpat Nagar, Rajiv Chowk, Hauz Khas and Kashmere Gate are the other stations.
