In a move to enhance seamless mobility and commuter convenience, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Uber to facilitate app-based last-mile connectivity services along the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor.
This collaboration will enable the availability of Uber’s mobility solutions, including cabs, autos, and two-wheelers, at all operational Namo Bharat stations from New Ashok Nagar to Meerut South. As additional sections of the corridor become operational, these services will be extended to encompass all 25 stations.
To further enhance commuter convenience, designated pickup and drop-off points have been established at the Namo Bharat stations, accompanied by directional signage to assist commuters in navigating to these locations. In the near future, Uber may also introduce special discounts for individuals utilizing the Namo Bharat services.
Speaking about this collaboration, Shri Shalabh Goel, Managing Director, NCRTC, said, “This partnership with Uber is another important step towards strengthening last-mile connectivity along the Namo Bharat Corridor, offering commuters a convenient and integrated travel experience. It aims to enhance the modal shift towards public transportation, and in turn help enable a significant reduction in vehicular congestion and air pollution in the region.”
Manish Bindrani, Head of Supply, Uber India and South Asia, said, “We are proud to support one of India’s most ambitious transit projects. By enabling integrated last-mile mobility, we’re advancing shared transportation, reducing reliance on private vehicles, and helping cities meet climate and traffic congestion goals. We aim to make it easy for every Namo Bharat rider to complete their journey end to end – whether heading to an office in Delhi or a home in Meerut.”
NCRTC has been making continuous efforts to strengthen first/last-mile connectivity to and from Namo Bharat stations. Various last-mile service providers, such as Rapido, are currently operational at several stations in Ghaziabad. Additionally, electric buses initiated under the DEVI Bus Scheme (Delhi Electric Vehicle Interchange Scheme) have been integrated with Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar Namo Bharat stations in Delhi.
