Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is well known for its urge to adopt sophisticated methods toward the betterment of its commuters. In a recent step, it yet again lived up to its reputation with the announcement of a tender regarding the development of an advanced Delhi Metro App.Some of the probable features that it expects in the prospective app include:
- Offline functioning without the use of GPRS or Internet
- Detailed Information on Metro stations, fare, timings, route, etc.
- Information on parking availability in vicinity of the Station
- Info on Tourist spots and prominent landmarks close to metro stations
- Details on Helpline numbers, and Feeder Bus Services
- Updated info on the development of upcoming Metro line
- Facility of GPS to determain user's present location
