Ola, the transportation app has entered into a strategic partnership with Larsen & Toubro Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited (LTMRHL). Under the partnership, TSavaari, the official Hyderabad Metro Rail app has integrated Ola’s services including Ola Money (one of India’s largest mobile wallets). The integration will allow LTHMRL commuters to recharge their metro smart cards directly from the Ola Money app.
Commuters will also have an option to pay from their Ola Money wallet on the TSavaari app. Additionally, users will be able to book an Ola cab or Ola Auto directly from their TSavaari apps.
The Hyderabad Metro Rail Project was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently and has
received good commuter traffic. With Ola coming on-board as its mobility partner, the overall experience of the commuters will improve drastically with seamless first and last mile connectivity and inclusive payment solutions.
The partnership will also enable on-ground integration as commuters will now be able to book a cab with the assistance of Ola representatives stationed at Ola Kiosks within the station premises. Further, Ola Zones will also help in easing the parking issues as cabs will now be allocated dedicated parking spots near or within the station premises. Ola Zones will work as dedicated pick up and drop off points for customers, enabling ETAs (Expected Time of Arrival) as low as two minutes.
