Hyderabad Auto & Taxi Drivers Association Launches Ride-Hailing App Yarry On ONDC Protocol
In a groundbreaking move, the Hyderabad Auto & Taxi Drivers Association has introduced a new ride-hailing app called Yarry, leveraging the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) protocol. The initiative aims to empower local auto and taxi drivers while providing a seamless and efficient transportation solution for the residents of Hyderabad.
The ONDC protocol, a government-backed initiative in India, plays a pivotal role in fostering a digital ecosystem that enables various players in the commerce and trade sectors to interact seamlessly. Yarry’s adoption of the ONDC protocol is a significant step toward embracing digital transformation in the transportation sector.
Yarry promises to bring a host of benefits to both drivers and passengers, making commuting more convenient and secure. With the app, users can easily book auto-rickshaws and taxis through their smartphones, eliminating the need for traditional street-hailing methods. The application ensures transparency in fare calculation, reducing the chances of disputes between passengers and drivers.
One of the distinguishing features of Yarry is its commitment to prioritizing the interests of local auto and taxi drivers. The Hyderabad Auto & Taxi Drivers Association has actively collaborated with the ONDC framework to ensure that the app’s design supports fair revenue distribution among drivers, fostering a more equitable system.
Through the Yarry app, passengers can enjoy a user-friendly interface, allowing them to book rides with just a few taps on their smartphones. The app provides real-time tracking of the assigned vehicle, enhancing safety and security for passengers. Additionally, users can rate and provide feedback on their ride experiences, contributing to an overall improvement in service quality.
The Yarry app also incorporates features that cater to the unique needs of the local community. For instance, users can choose between different vehicle options based on their preferences, such as auto-rickshaws, taxis, or shared rides. The app also supports multiple payment options, including digital wallets, UPI, and cash, catering to a diverse user base.
The launch of Yarry marks a collaborative effort between the Hyderabad Auto & Taxi Drivers Association and technology developers to bridge the gap between traditional transportation services and modern digital solutions. The move aligns with the government’s vision of creating a digitally inclusive economy that benefits all stakeholders.
In a statement, [Spokesperson Name], spokesperson for the Hyderabad Auto & Taxi Drivers Association, expressed optimism about the positive impact Yarry will have on the local transportation landscape. “Yarry is not just a ride-hailing app; it’s a symbol of progress and collaboration. By embracing the ONDC protocol, we are not only enhancing the efficiency of our services but also ensuring that the benefits reach the grassroots level, empowering our drivers.”
As Yarry gains traction in Hyderabad, it sets a precedent for other cities to explore similar digital solutions in collaboration with the ONDC framework, fostering innovation and inclusivity in the transportation sector across India.
