New app for capital's public transport users

New Delhi, April 13: Ridlr, a public transport app that gives you real time information about bus and Metro schedules, went live in the capital on Monday. Built by Bird’s Eye Systems - a real-time traffic alert and travel information tech startup - Ridlr is designed to make travelling within cities easier and more predictable for people using public transport systems. Ridlr plans and optimises people’s travel around the city. It also factors in roadblocks and diversions before suggesting the best mode of transport across destitions at any given point in the day. With Ridlr, people can locate the nearest bus stop or metro station. It shows the latest time-tables of the modes of transportation and allows users of the app to download them in their phones. “In Delhi, public transport keeps the pulse of the city alive. However, it’s no small task to vigate its vast network of metros and DTC buses. Using Ridlr, users will now find it extremely easy to determine the best and easiest way of getting to any destition at any time,” Ravi Khemani, chief technology officer and co-founder of Bird’s Eye Systems, said in a statement. Ridlr is available for all Android smart phones, free of charge. (ians)
