The objective of the app is to make it more convenient for people to use public transport, will help significantly to reduce congestion, accidents, green house gases and health issues that our cities face every day forcing them to take extraordinary measures like the Odd-Even in Delhi and a similar fate awaiting Mumbai.
Speaking on the occasion, Martynas Gudonavičius, Co-Founder and CEO of TRAFI, said, “This will be a great help for commuters in large cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru where complexity of transport networks and lack of accurate and complete information currently makes it difficult to plan their journeys. The app’s accurate real-time focused approach offers the high accuracy of information, showing you what really happens in your city right now. And because we apply this over all major transport modes, we will help you with any trip selecting the best buses, trains and metro options for you, in one clear overview.”
