This is the third year in which Chalo has partnered with Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) for its flagship annual event, the Urban Mobility India (UMI) Conference 2024 to actively share its views on solving mobility at the national level. ✨ At UMI, government officials, and private sector experts from India and abroad come together to discuss the challenges of urban mobility, the future path forward, and a shared vision to enhance urban life. 🚏🌎 This year, Chalo was a part of 3 panels where planning 15-minute cities, implementing digital public infrastructure and the key role of public private partnerships in mobility were discussed. #UMI24 #Chalo #PublicTransport #UrbanMobility #TechForGood ITDP - India WRI India Mohit Dubey Priya Singh Dhruv Chopra Vinayak Bhavnani

India’s #1 bus transport technology company. Making bus travel better for everyone!
About us
Chalo is India's #1 bus transport technology company that provides live bus tracking services and contactless payment solutions to transform everyday bus travel into a safer and more reliable experience. Transport is a fundamental need - like water or air. More people are travelling more and more every day. Yet, only around 15% of Indians can afford their own car, private taxi or a two-wheeler. The remaining 85% depend on public transport. Moreover, with growing traffic and congestion it’s becoming increasingly clear that private transport is causing more problems than it is solving; and a small but significant (and growing) segment are outright rejecting car and bike ownership. At Chalo, our core purpose is to make travel better for everyone, and we believe that our cities, our health and our lives will be better when we improve the way we travel. We have begun our journey by focusing on bus travel - making it easier for those that rely on it, and also for those that are choosing it. Buses, as a mode of transport, form the core architecture of any city's transport system. They also offer the largest improvement areas and the largest opportunity to create an impact, with 2 out of 3 public transport users depending on buses for their travel. We welcome a conversation with anyone who shares our vision and values, and especially those who wish to offer a counter-point :-) Chalo!

We are at Urban Mobility India where ITDP - India organised an insightful discussion on "Building 15-minute cities: A pathway to sustainable urban mobility" Our Co-Founder and Director, Priya Singh spoke about how cities cannot be sustainable unless people take public transport by default, be it students, or the elderly. In order to make this happen, we need digitisation of buses. Increasing reliability through live tracking is the need of the hour. Key takeaways from the session: ✨City planners should consider land use, transit and other key aspects through a people-oriented lens. ✨The next 20-30 years are crucial for cities to keep up with the aspirations of the people migrating from rural to urban areas. ✨A 15-minute city is all about making a neighborhood self-sustaining where one can live, work and have access to essential needs at just 15 minutes distance. ✨What we're lacking today is not the intent to cycle or walk but the infrastructure that allows people to do so comfortably and seamlessly. So to make 15-minute cities a reality, there is a need to plan cities as an integrated whole rather than individual aspects. #UMI2024 #15MinuteCities #Chalo #TechForGood Mohit Dubey Dhruv Chopra Vinayak Bhavnani

Day 2 at the Urban Mobility India Conference 2024 | We joined the roundtable to discuss 'Leveraging DPI framework for e-mobility' moderated by Pawan Mulukutla. Our CEO Mohit Dubey spoke about how companies like Chalo can elevate DPI to build upon their offerings and scale across various categories of cities. Key takeaways from the session: 🎯 There is a need for a system to provide exchange and access to data in a transparent and interoperable manner. 🎯 Digital ecosystem building in identity and payments is an India-first approach. 🎯 There is a need to simplify and standardise it so that it is replicable. 🎯 We need to look at DPI for mobility as a whole, instead of just e-buses. 🎯 Success of electric buses depends on us changing the infrastructure. The conversation highlighted the need to prioritize buses in the context of urban mobility planning and implementation. As the chairperson Mohinder Singh, Transport Consultant, rightly said, in reimagining the urban mobility system, the humble bus will play a very important role and hence needs more attention than any other mode of transport.
