Taxi-service app Ola has announced a special fare for commuters using the service from metro stations in Delhi-NCR. Users will be able to hail a cab in the 'Ola Share' category at a flat rate of Rs. 50 from more than 150 metro stations.

"Customers, who currently have to find a bus or auto after getting off the metro, will now have a completely seamless alternative at their fingertips," the company said in a press release.

The offer will be valid from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 a.m and 10:00 p.m and will be valid up to 7 km after which normal Share rates will apply.

"Introducing flat rates will effectively encourage them to share rides at affordable, convenient prices and help us create a greener future. Through these special fares, we are also aiming to solve the issues last mile connectivity, which is often a pain point for a lot of daily commuters especially during extreme weather conditions and peak traffic timings," he added.

Ola also recently introduced a range of shared mobility services on its platform like Ola Shuttle and Ola Share for commute and ride-sharing respectively. The app is available on Windows, Android and iOS platforms.
