The mobility startup that put Bengaluru’s autos on the map is back this time, connecting the entire city.
After disrupting how auto rides are booked and billed in India’s tech capital, Namma Yatri has launched a new multi-modal mobility platform called Namma Transit. The goal: integrate Metro, auto-rickshaws, and cab services into one seamless commuter app.
This rollout marks a major step in India’s open mobility movement, aligning with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and India’s push for interoperable, commuter-first urban transport.
Built by Beckn Foundation and operated by Juspay, Namma Yatri has already served over 1.1 crore rides, with more than 5.5 lakh users and 2.1 lakh+ drivers on the platform. Now, it wants to go beyond autos and become a full-stack city mobility layer.
By linking Metro schedules, route maps, last-mile autos, and cab hailing, Namma Transit aims to:
- Reduce wait times and travel uncertainty
- Offer fare transparency and driver choice
- Cut reliance on siloed apps and systems
Bengaluru is the pilot city, but the model is designed to be replicable across major urban centres.
Namma Transit’s big play? Not just convenience. It’s building the tech backbone for a decentralized, driver-friendly, commuter-smart mobility ecosystem that can work across India’s urban sprawl.
As public transport and digital commerce collide, Namma Yatri is proving that infrastructure isn’t just physical it’s digital, open, and built from the ground up.
