Uber has launched Pune Metro ticket booking on its app, making Pune the fifth Indian city where commuters can purchase metro tickets directly through the platform. The feature has been enabled through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).
Starting Thursday, commuters in Pune can plan metro journeys and buy QR-based metro tickets on the Uber app without standing in queues or switching between multiple applications. Pune joins Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai in Uber’s metro ticketing network.
The company said commuters booking metro tickets through the app will receive a 50% discount of up to ₹10 for a limited period. Users can pay using UPI and continue onward journeys using Uber Auto, Bike, Go and other mobility services integrated within the app.
During his recent India visit, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said more than 10 million metro rides have already been booked through the Uber app across India, highlighting growing adoption of integrated public transport solutions.
Neha Kapoor, Head – Strategic Initiatives, Uber India & South Asia, said, “Metro ticketing on Uber is making everyday commuting simpler by bringing public transit and last-mile mobility together in one place. With Pune becoming the fifth city to go live, we’re excited to expand a seamless, end-to-end mobility experience to more riders.”
“More than 10 million metro journeys have already been booked through Uber across India, and we’re seeing strong adoption as commuters increasingly look for faster, more connected ways to move around cities. This is a powerful example of how India’s Digital Public Infrastructure is helping reimagine urban mobility at population scale,” she added.
Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Managing Director Shri Shravan Hardikar (IAS) said, “Ticketing integration with Uber will play an important role in improving commuter convenience and encouraging greater adoption of public transport. By enabling metro ticketing directly on the Uber app, we are making travel planning simpler and more accessible for Pune’s commuters.”
