This ticketing system aims to simplify the transit experience for commuters, enabling them to book and purchase tickets seamlessly from anywhere, all within the WhatsApp chatbot. DTC is the first state bus network that has implemented this solution for riders across the region.
How to access the service?
Available in both English and Hindi, commuters can access this service on WhatsApp by sending 'Hi' to +91 8744073223 or by scanning the QR code.
Currently, the WhatsApp chatbot allows commuters traveling on DTC and DIMTS routes to book single journey QR tickets. For riders commuting frequently on the same route, the chatbot will offer a Quick purchase feature, further reducing the time spent selecting the destination and starting point in the chatbot.
How many tickets can a rider buy?
Through the WhatsApp-based ticketing system, a rider per transaction can directly purchase a maximum of six tickets using their preferred UPI payment option within the chat window.
“Each day, millions of commuters rely on local transport services for their daily commutes. We are delighted to introduce the DTC chatbot that aims to redefine travel experience and offer streamlined and efficient transit solutions for commuters across the Delhi NCR region. The introduction of DTC's QR ticketing service through WhatsApp represents a significant stride in enhancing customer experience, offering a more sophisticated and intelligent approach to local travel”, said Ravi Garg, Director, Business Messaging, Meta in India.
