    A brainchild of the founders of the popular traffic app, Traffline, which gained
almost 2 million downloads and solved a critical problem of road traffic information,
Ridlr is a commuting app providing you real time information for diverse transit modes,
including train, bus and metro in your city along with mobile ticketing needs. Ridlr also
gives its commuters live traffic updates so that the commuters can steer clear of
congestion by taking alternate routes and make their commute stress-free.

    The process of booking a ticket of the application is as simple as selecting the
destination & paying through the mobile wallet for an e-ticket. This ticket is then to be
shown to the conductor for validation. Currently, being piloted on selected routes,
eventually the solution shall be rolled out across all NMMT routes.

    Speaking on the occasion, Shirish Aradwad, Transport Manager, who has been
spearheading strategic technological innovations at NMMT stated, "This move is in line
with the Corporation's commitment to offer a better commuting experience to the residents
of Navi Mumbai. After mulling over several initiatives, we were pleased to go ahead with
Ridlr's ticketing solution, as it was a completely hassle-free and user friendly."

    "We saw people facing multiple issues during their daily commute such as waiting in
long queues, spending a lot of time at booking counters and struggling with change to pay
for tickets. This is when we thought of deploying technology that equips people to book
tickets through their smartphones. Presently, Ridlr offers ticketing solutions for NMMT &
Mumbai Metro, and very soon we are going to be available on BEST and other transportation
bodies. We want to make it a one-stop app for all transportation needs," said Brijraj
Vaghani, CEO at Ridlr.

    Ravi Khemani, co-founder & CTO at Ridlr shared his views on this development stating,
"Effortless ticketing would not only enrich overall commuter experience, but also benefit
the transport corporation by ensuring fare collection from all the passengers."

    Initiatives like Ridlr are making the Indian Government's vision of 'Digital India'
and 'Make in India' come true to life. With the issues faced by general public in their
daily commute, an application which allows them to book their tickets online is a great
way in which private and government agencies can work together, to improve passenger
experience.
