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.
