Hyderabad – MetroRide, a leading mobility tech company has extended its services to the entire West Hyderabad and now serves Hitec City Metro, Durgam Cheruvu & Raidurg Metro Station in the west cluster. Along with this expansion, the e-mobility platform has also launched its electric 2-wheeler services.

MetroRide is the 1st all-electric 3 & 2-wheeler mobility service in the country promoting public transport. India’s first AI-enabled electric ride-hailing platform, MetroRide is on a mission to make daily commute affordable, seamless and sustainable. This multi-modal platform makes public transport accessible by solving first and last-mile connectivity issues and making customers' end-to-end journeys seamless.

The company has signed an MoU with HMRL to solve the first and last mile connectivity issue which is a big challenge for daily commuters. MetroRide is looking forward to onboard women drivers and are seeking partners for their 3 & 2-wheeler taxi services. The e-mobility platform is overwhelmed with requests from major metro services for collaboration as their service has direct impact on metro passengers.

Speaking on the launch, Girish Nagpal, CEO, Co-Founder MetroRide said, “We are excited to see the response from daily commuters in Hyderabad. With this expansion we will get the opportunity to serve more commuters and will be well on our way of achieving our target of around 1 million customers in Hyderabad. The launch of our EV 2-wheeler service in Hyderabad is another vital solution to make commute easy and accessible for our customers.”

Kaaman Agarwal, CTO, Co-Founder MetroRide further added, “By extending our services, we are also looking at our AI model to help us reach our target. We hope to solve the challenges that daily metro consumers face by solving connectivity issues. “
