In a move to enhance commuter convenience, Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has partnered with Uber and the ONDC Network to allow passengers to book metro tickets directly through the Uber app. This new service enables users to plan trips, purchase QR code tickets, and access real-time metro updates—all within the Uber platform.
The initiative was officially launched on August 7, 2025, by CMRL Managing Director Thiru M.A. Siddique at the MetroS station in Nandanam. As part of a special promotion, Uber is offering a 50% discount on metro tickets booked via the app for the entire month of August. However, payments for these discounted tickets must be made exclusively through UPI.
Meanwhile, CMRL continues to provide a 20% discount on digital passes and online QR tickets when booked via its official app. This discount does not apply to paper tickets, further encouraging commuters to embrace digital solutions for a smoother travel experience.
