The Odisha government’s people-first mobility platform, Odisha Yatri, has initiated steps with emphasis on citizen safety, digital innovation, and driver empowerment.
The Odisha Yatri has evolved into a comprehensive safety platform equipped with advanced emergency response features.
The upgraded system will enable direct SOS connectivity with the police, emergency triggers without opening the application, live location sharing, and instant alerts to designated emergency contacts. These technology-enabled interventions aim to ensure citizen safety anytime and anywhere across the State, reinforcing the platform’s commitment beyond mobility services, officials said.
Alongside strengthening safety infrastructure, Odisha Yatri has enabled cumulative driver earnings of over Rs 10 crore under its Zero Commission model.
Operating on a zero-commission framework, the platform allows drivers to retain 100% of their ride income.
This transparent and equitable approach has significantly enhanced driver livelihoods, strengthened trust, and positioned Odisha Yatri as a fair and government-backed mobility solution.
The FASTicket initiative has further accelerated the digitisation of Ama Bus services, enabling passengers to scan QR codes inside buses, book tickets within seconds, receive instant digital tickets, and avail exclusive discounts. This seamless and cashless system has improved commuter convenience while promoting digital adoption in public transport.
With expansion plans underway in cities such as Sambalpur and Rourkela, Odisha Yatri is steadily moving towards building a unified and integrated mobility ecosystem across the State.
By combining safety integration, Zero Commission empowerment, digital ticketing, and multi-city expansion, Odisha Yatri continues to strengthen its role as Odisha’s trusted mobility and safety platform, the officials added.
