Booking metro tickets is getting easier. Soon, you can use the Google Maps app to book metro tickets in big cities.
This means you won’t need two different apps. Google and ONDC are working together to make this possible.
During an event in India hosted by Google yesterday, the company announced a partnership with Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).
This partnership will soon allow users to book metro tickets through the Maps app.
Will start soon in metro cities
At the event, Bikram Singh Bedi, who is in charge of Google Cloud in India, said that this new service will become available in metro cities across the country in the next few months.
You’ll be able to use this service through special apps that are part of ONDC.
At the beginning of this year, Google and ONDC began a program to help sellers who are starting to sell things online through the open network.
Now, they are making their partnership even stronger by offering the option to buy metro tickets through the app.
You can use WhatsApp to book tickets as well
You can also use WhatsApp to book Delhi Metro tickets. Just send a message with “HI” to the number 9650855800.
You can book up to 6 metro tickets at once using WhatsApp. Please note that you can book tickets through this number from 6 am to 9 pm.
For the Airport Line, you can book tickets between 4 am to 11 am. This service is available for 228 metro stations and is provided by DMRC.
