Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Yatri mobility app, launched by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, is a community initiative that makes booking autos and cabs easy and stress-free. It has achieved an impressive milestone by completing over 1 lakh rides within just 45 days of its launch.
This success shows the growing trust and excitement of commuters in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, who are choosing the app for its safety, transparency, and convenience. Supported by the Odisha government, Odisha Yatri has quickly become the top choice for daily travelers, offering a smooth and reliable travel experience.
The app is designed with a focus on both passenger safety and driver support. It features real-time trip tracking, clear pricing, and is linked to the Odisha Police 112 emergency response system. Passengers can also share their trip details with family and friends to ensure greater safety and build trust.
These features, along with the app’s government support, have led to frequent use and high satisfaction. Unlike traditional ride-hailing services, Odisha Yatri works on a zero-commission model, meaning drivers keep 100% of their earnings. This approach not only boosts the income of thousands of drivers but also encourages them to offer safer, more customer-friendly services.
The app takes a community-driven approach by directly connecting drivers and passengers, eliminating middlemen. This has earned the trust of users, making Odisha Yatri a game-changer in the state’s transportation system. The app also provides affordable fares and improves the overall commuting experience.
“As Odisha Yatri continues to set new standards, it reaffirms its commitment to safety, transparency, and innovation. With every ride, the app is bringing Odisha closer to a smarter, more connected future—one that focuses on seamless, secure, and empowering travel for everyone,” said Usha Padhee, Principal Secretary of the Commerce and Transport Department.
With its rapid success in the state, Odisha Yatri is now preparing to expand further. Future improvements include real-time public transport tracking, integration with OTDC, AI-powered safety features, and multi-modal travel planning. These upgrades will strengthen Odisha Yatri’s role in building a smart and sustainable mobility system, benefiting millions of commuters and drivers.
The app aims to lead the way toward a safer, smarter, and more accessible urban transportation future for Odisha.
