Google Maps has introduced a new feature for metro rail passengers in India, starting with Kochi and Chennai.
This new service allows users to book metro train tickets directly through the Google Maps app, making travel more convenient and streamlined.
Easier Ticket Booking Process
Previously, passengers in Kochi and Chennai had to visit metro stations and stand in long queues to buy tickets.
With this new feature, you can now book your metro tickets from home using Google Maps. This service is similar to the ticket booking feature provided by Paytm for Delhi Metro.
Google Maps has teamed up with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and the Namma Yatri App to make this possible.
The Namma Yatri App will handle the ticket booking and payment processes.
