Odisha Yatri App Crosses One Lakh Rides in Just 45 Days
Odisha Yatri, the state’s first-of-its-kind government-backed mobility app, has crossed one lakh rides within just 45 days of its launch, marking a significant milestone in Odisha’s urban transportation landscape. Launched by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the app has quickly gained traction among commuters in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, who are drawn to its safety, transparency, and affordability.
The rapid adoption of Odisha Yatri underscores a growing preference for secure and reliable transportation options. Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms, the app follows a zero-commission model, ensuring that drivers retain 100% of their earnings. This driver-first approach has not only enhanced livelihoods but also incentivized safer and more customer-friendly services, making Odisha Yatri a game-changer in the region.
Prioritizing Safety and Transparency
Odisha Yatri comes equipped with real-time trip tracking, transparent pricing, and integration with Odisha Police’s 112 emergency response system. Passengers can also share trip details with family and friends, ensuring an additional layer of security. The government’s direct involvement in the platform has further boosted public trust and frequent usage, reinforcing its role as a reliable daily commuting option.
According to Smt. Usha Padhee, Principal Secretary, Housing & Urban Development & Commerce & Transport Department, Odisha Yatri continues to set new benchmarks in urban mobility, reaffirming its commitment to safety, transparency, and innovation.
Expanding the Future of Smart Mobility in Odisha
Following its overwhelming success in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, Odisha Yatri is now gearing up for statewide expansion. Planned upgrades include real-time public transport tracking, integration with the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC), AI-powered safety features, and multi-modal journey planning. These enhancements aim to strengthen Odisha’s mobility ecosystem, offering a seamless and efficient transportation experience to millions across the state.
As Odisha moves towards a smarter and more connected urban future, Odisha Yatri is more than just a ride-hailing app—it is a transformative step in building a sustainable, accessible, and people-centric mobility network.
