What is the Metro Mitra app?
Metro Mitra is an app exclusively for Bangalore Metro passengers to book autos from metro stations. The objective of the app is to offer last-mile connectivity to passengers. Those who book autos using Metro Mitra need to pay only the meter charge and a flat charge of INR 10 per ride.
The app is brought to users by the Autorickshaw Drivers’ Union (ARDU) in collaboration with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL). The Metro Mitra app is available for use from 6th September 2023. Using this app, you can book rides from a network of ARDU-verified drivers.
One of the unique features is that passengers need not download the Metro Mitra app. Auto drivers will be equipped with the app, though. You can book autos through Metro Mitra using the QR codes displayed at Bangalore Metro station premises. You will receive a link with instructions – follow the instructions on the link and book autos.
ARDU plans to integrate the Metro Mitra app with the Bangalore Metro WhatsApp chatbot available at 8105556677). Once done, you can also book autos through the WhatsApp chatbot.
