MeeTicket app to unify buses, Metro, autos, cabs in Hyderabad
In Hyderabad, the company that runs city buses is making a new app called MeeTicket.
The app will help people plan trips using buses, the Metro, autos, and cabs.
Instead of using many different apps, you can use just one.
You can buy a bus or Metro ticket in the app.
You can also book an auto or cab to finish your journey.
The app will automatically send the money you pay to the right driver or company.
The leader of the bus company said they will not buy their own autos.
Some rumors said they would, but those rumors are not true.
The app just connects drivers who already have autos and cabs.
The goal is to make travel faster and easier for everyone.
TGSRTC is developing the MeeTicket app through MeeSeva to bring public transport services under one digital platform.
The app will integrate RTC buses, Metro services, autos and cabs for planning and booking multi-modal journeys.
Passengers can buy RTC or Metro tickets and pre-book an auto or cab to reach their final destination.
An automated payment mechanism will transfer fares to the respective transport service providers on a timely basis.
TGSRTC denied reports and social media claims that it plans to purchase and operate its own auto-rickshaws.
