Uber Expands to Metro Ticketing and Logistics with ONDC

Uber has announced the launch of metro ticketing services through its app, powered by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), beginning with the Delhi Metro. This move marks Uber's initial integration with India's digital public infrastructure, aiming to enhance connectivity in public transport.

Following a Memorandum of Understanding with ONDC signed in 2024, Uber plans to expand its metro ticketing service to three additional cities by 2025. This expansion will soon include Business-to-Business logistics capabilities, offering companies on-demand logistics solutions via Uber's delivery network.

The integration with ONDC signifies a commitment to inclusive urban mobility and sets the stage for future innovations in India's transportation ecosystem. Uber's network of 1.4 million drivers will also gain incremental earning opportunities through these initiatives.
