IIIT-Delhi's Chartr app revolutionizes Delhi bus commute
Getting around Delhi just got easier. The new Chartr app, founded by Dr. Pravesh Biyani, a faculty member at IIIT-Delhi, lets you buy DTC and cluster bus tickets on your phone—no cash or paper needed. Just scan a QR code to pay and see exactly where your bus is in real time. After seven years in the making, this is academic innovation hitting the streets.
How the app helps
Chartr makes ticket buying simple: pick by fare or destination, and save your go-to spots like home or office for quick access. You'll get live arrival times (plus info on whether it's AC or non-AC) and can plan trips that include both busses and metro—all in one place.
Real-time tracking info, efficient route management
Chartr's tech helps manage routes more efficiently and provides real-time tracking information. It shows how college research can solve real-world problems—and could make daily commutes smoother for thousands of Delhiites looking for a smarter way to travel.
