Uber Now Sells Metro Ticket After ONDC Partnership

Uber today announced the rollout of metro ticketing on the Uber app, powered by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), with Delhi Metro going live as the first launch city.

 Starting today, Uber users in the national capital can now plan their metro journeys, purchase QR-based tickets, and access real-time transit information - all within the Uber app.

This functionality has been enabled through ONDC’s interoperable network, connecting Uber with public transport infrastructure. The payments for metro ticketing will be supported exclusively through UPI

This marks Uber’s first integration with India’s digital public infrastructure and a major step forward in making public transport more connected.

Three more cities across India are slated to go live in 2025.

This integration follows the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2024 during Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi’s visit to India, where Uber committed to collaborating with ONDC to advance the reach and impact of India’s digital public goods.

 “ India has taken an impressive leap in building population scale technology through its Digital Public Infrastructure like ONDC and we are thrilled to integrate with them to bring metro ticketing to the Uber app, bringing us one step closer to our vision of being a one-stop shop for mobility needs,”  Praveen Neppalli Naga, Chief Technology Officer, Uber, said.

Building on this momentum, Uber will soon launch B2B Logistics via the ONDC network, a solution that will allow businesses to request on-demand logistics from Uber’s delivery network, without needing their own fleet.

This will also serve as an incremental earning opportunity for Uber’s 1.4-million-strong driver network. The service will initially facilitate food deliveries, with its underlying technology designed to scale to sectors such as e-commerce, grocery, pharmacy, and healthcare logistics.
