Soon You Can Book Ola & Uber Cabs at Kiosks in Delhi Metro Stations

According to latest media reports, a pilot service on booking cars through two main cab aggregators at Delhi Metro stations was launched on 26^th December in order to further boost last-mile connectivity for travelers.

Officials told that these kiosks will give booking facility to commuters travelling via metro, who will also get complete information regarding booking status and location of already booked cabs.
