If you live in Delhi and are sick and tired of waiting for an
auto especially during peak hours or late in night then PoochO app will be very
useful. Launched by Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung, the PoochO app allows people to
access the Delhi Integrated Multi Model Transit System (DIMTS) of registered
driver’s mobile numbers and then call them up to book a ride. It is a relief
for everyone and especially women who work until late nights in corporate and
then commute via rickshaw.
DIMTS sanctioned the development of the smartphone
application, which lets users find GPS-fitted autos passing nearby. This app
offers users the option of sharing their travel details on Facebook and
Twitter. It would be safety measure for everyone. User need to make sure that
phone has GPS and leave it turned on in order to use the app. About 24000 autos
in Delhi are equipped with GPS and this means that the tool has potential to be
very handy to a large number of users.
PoochO app can be downloaded on only Android Phones from
Google Play. User can also give their feedback on their travel in Auto
Rickshaw. User can also calculate estimate fare for their trip and even track
the auto to check if it is coming towards them or not after calling its
drivers. This app will soon be available on iPhone too.
The best thing about this app is if a driver refuses to pick
up a PoochO user for no reason will face with strict action. Application will
help drivers to get passengers more easily. Traffic police will be asked to
connect this app with their website, their traffic app because if a driver
refuses to pick up then he will be penalized heavily. Authorities are planning
to implement this app in Mumbai also as Traffic condition in Mumbai is
pathetic.
