In a major boost to Delhi’s urban mobility infrastructure, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has launched a transformative feature in its upgraded Momentum 2.0 mobile app—door-to-door connectivity. This strategic move aims to bridge the critical last-mile and first-mile gaps that often hinder seamless travel for metro users, promising a more integrated and efficient urban commute.
The new feature allows users to plan their entire journey from home to final destination through the app. Commuters can now input their travel details, receive route suggestions combining metro rides with first and last-mile options like bike taxis, auto-rickshaws, or walking routes, and make a unified booking and payment—all within a single platform. This all-in-one journey planning tool is designed to reduce travel friction, particularly during rush hours and multi-modal transfers.
The DMRC has partnered with multiple ride-hailing platforms to offer commuters a broad spectrum of reliable and economical transport options. Whether you are a professional travelling to an office in Connaught Place or a student heading to a university campus, the Momentum 2.0 app provides real-time navigation and booking, significantly cutting down travel time and complexity.
Commuters across Delhi have welcomed the initiative. A working professional commuting daily from Dwarka praised the app’s efficiency, noting how it enables booking both metro rides and an auto-rickshaw leg of the trip without toggling between multiple apps. College students and first-time tourists have also found value in the feature’s ability to simplify unfamiliar city routes.
Beyond convenience, the feature also strengthens the case for public transport by eliminating some of the biggest deterrents—uncertainty and inefficiency in last-mile travel. With real-time route optimisation and flexible travel modes, it encourages a shift away from private vehicles, aligning with broader goals of reducing urban congestion and vehicular emissions.
Momentum 2.0’s latest update is particularly timely as the city faces increasing pressure on its transport infrastructure amid growing population density and rising commuter expectations. By leveraging digital innovation and public-private collaboration, DMRC’s Momentum 2.0 offers a scalable model for other Indian cities seeking to enhance their metro systems with last-mile connectivity.
