more-in Rapid Metro commuters in Gurugram will now be able to book cabs from kiosks set up at three of its stations. The move, which looks to address the issue of last-mile connectivity in the Millennium City, comes after the Rapid Metro joined hands with Ola. The facility is expected to be extended to all Rapid Metro stations in six months. Last-mile connectivity Rajiv Banga, MD & CEO (IL&FS Rail Ltd.), said, “The commuters will now have seamless last-mile connectivity to and from metro stations. Ola’s network will further ease the commuting experience for Rapid Metro users.” With this, Ola Kiosks and Ola Zones have come up at three stations — Vodafone Belvedere Towers, Sector 54 Chowk and Sector 55-56 Rapid Metro stations. The partnership will allow commuters to book cab with assistance from Ola representatives stationed at the kiosks. Further, Ola cabs will be parked at dedicated spots near or within the station premises, which will be called ‘Ola Zones’, to reduce waiting time. Easier commute The move is targeted at commuters who haven’t downloaded the Ola application or are not carrying mobile phones. It will also benefit those who are not comfortable booking cabs online, especially senior citizens. Saurabh Mishra, Director (Alliances) at Ola said, “Over the last one year, we have successfully set up Ola kiosks and zones at various public utilities like railway stations, airports and metro stations. Similar partnerships with South Western Railways and Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata Metro have proved successful. We have been able to facilitate last-mile connectivity and an integrated mobility experience for thousands of users. We hope to replicate the same experience for Rapid Metro commuters.”
