One of the key benefits of ‘Odisha Yatri’ is its zero-commission model, which allows drivers to keep all of their earnings, giving them a fairer deal than traditional ride-hailing services. This not only supports drivers’ livelihoods but also encourages them to provide better service, ensuring a trustworthy and dependable transport network.
With over 36,000 registered users and more than 120,000 active users, the app’s easy-to-use interface makes booking rides simple, while the live trip-sharing feature helps passengers feel safer by keeping loved ones informed.
As Odisha continues to grow and modernize, ‘Odisha Yatri’ is helping shape the future of urban mobility. Beyond its impact on daily commuters, the app is also fostering tourism by offering a safe, efficient, and hassle-free way for visitors to explore the cities. The app’s deeper integration into the public transport system is expected to make Odisha a more attractive and accessible destination for travelers, contributing to the state’s economic growth and tourism industry.
