Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is set to revolutionise the local transportation system with the introduction of a new smartphone application (app) to facilitate the prepaid booking of auto-rickshaws and taxis, ensuring a transparent and hassle-free travel experience for commuters in Bhubaneswar. The service will be initially rolled out at Babasaheb Ambedkar Bus Terminal, Baramunda, providing passengers with the convenience of advanced ride booking through their mobile devices. This digital move aims to streamline the process of hailing rides, offering passengers the certainty of scheduled pickups and the comfort of a planned journey. The prepaid model will be a significant step towards eliminating cash transactions, which often lead to fare disputes.

The civic body, a few months back,had bought 12 heavy vehicles, four large trucks and as many small ones for lifting of green garbage and another four large trucks for lifting of C&D waste in the city. Delay in procurement of shredders and finalisation of an agency to run the service rendered the fleet ineffective. Shortage of skilled drivers to run the fleet further compounds the challenges for the civic body.
