In a major step toward improving urban mobility, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has partnered with Bharat Taxi to introduce an on-demand taxi service integrated with the city’s AMTS and BRTS public transport networks.
The initiative aims to strengthen last-mile connectivity by allowing commuters to seamlessly book taxis from bus stations to their final destinations through a unified transport ecosystem.
AMC Signs Agreement with Bharat Taxi
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has entered into a partnership with Bharat Taxi to make public transportation more convenient for daily commuters.
The service will primarily benefit passengers using:
- Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS)
- Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS)
By integrating taxi services with public buses, the civic body hopes to reduce dependency on private vehicles while encouraging greater use of public transport.
Focus on Last-Mile Connectivity
One of the biggest challenges for commuters is traveling between bus stations and their final destinations.
The new on-demand taxi service will help bridge this gap by providing:
- Quick taxi availability near AMTS and BRTS stations

- Reduced waiting time for passengers
- Better access to residential and commercial areas
Officials believe this integration will make public transport more attractive and user-friendly.
Digital Booking Facility for Commuters
Passengers will be able to book taxis digitally through the integrated system after completing their bus journey.
The service is expected to provide:
- Easy online taxi booking
- Transparent fare structure
- Reliable transportation
- Faster urban mobility
The project aligns with Ahmedabad’s broader smart mobility and digital governance initiatives.
Boost for Public Transportation
AMC expects the initiative to encourage more residents to use buses by eliminating last-mile transportation concerns.
Key expected benefits include:
- Increased AMTS and BRTS ridership
- Improved commuter convenience
- Reduced traffic congestion
- Better urban connectivity
- Enhanced public transport experience
The partnership also supports sustainable transportation by integrating multiple mobility options.
Part of Ahmedabad’s Smart Mobility Vision
Ahmedabad has been continuously investing in smart transport solutions, including BRTS expansion, intelligent traffic systems, and digital public services. The integration of on-demand taxis with city bus services represents another important milestone in building a modern, connected urban transportation network.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and Bharat Taxi marks an important advancement in the city’s public transport ecosystem. By integrating on-demand taxi services with AMTS and BRTS, commuters will benefit from smoother last-mile connectivity, greater convenience, and a more efficient travel experience across Ahmedabad.
