Odisha Yatri Introduces Non-AC Cabs to Offer Affordable Travel Options

Bhubaneswar: In a bid to make daily commuting more economical, Odisha Yatri has introduced non-AC cabs in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, marking a first-of-its-kind initiative in the state. The state-backed mobility platform aims to provide budget-friendly travel options while maintaining reliability and safety.

The newly launched non-AC cabs offer passengers the flexibility to choose between AC and non-AC rides, catering especially to students, officegoers, and daily commuters. This initiative is part of Odisha Yatri’s broader vision to create an inclusive, transparent, and commuter-friendly urban transport system.

As with all services under Odisha Yatri, these non-AC cabs operate on a zero-commission model, ensuring that drivers retain 100% of their earnings. Despite being a more economical option, the cabs maintain high safety standards, equipped with real-time trip tracking, live ride-sharing, and an integrated emergency response system linked to Odisha Police 112.

Emphasizing the platform’s commitment to innovation, Odisha Yatri plans to introduce additional features such as real-time public transport tracking, AI-driven safety enhancements, and integrated multi-modal transport solutions.

“With the introduction of non-AC cabs, Odisha Yatri is making daily travel even more affordable while upholding our core values of safety and transparency. This initiative underscores our commitment to creating a smarter, more inclusive, and budget-friendly mobility ecosystem for Odisha,” said N. Thirumala Naik, Managing Director of CRUT.
