    ASTC launches Digital Payment Integration for City Cab Service
    With great pleasure, ASTC City Cabs announces the successful completion of three months of offering public transport services in Guwahati.


    Digital Desk: Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) proudly announced the commercial launch of ASTC City Cabs service and digital payment solutions through a Unified Payment Interface (UPI) like QR code scan, payments in ASTC buses, Stations, City Cabs, etc., powered by PhonePe. This is a historic step to revolutionise urban transportation in Assam. The Hon'ble Minister of Transport, Shri Parimal Suklabaidya, unveiled this ground-breaking project in front of senior Transport Department officials. It is a major move in the right direction to improve the affordability, convenience, and general commuter experience.

    The addition of PhonePe into the ASTC's ecosystem brings a multitude of digital payment methods, as previously noted, which further increases the convenience factor for consumers and commuters in accordance with the government of India's Digital India Initiative. With the use of Smart Phones and PhonePe's reliable and secure environment, passengers may easily purchase bus tickets in buses, stations, city taxis, and other locations. Additionally, users of PhonePe's digital payment options may easily pay their monthly dues to ASTC.

    Moreover, ASTC City Cabs features a fleet of flawlessly kept taxis that can be easily reserved using a specific smartphone application. With the help of this intuitive app, riders can easily track their journeys in real time, pay with ease, and leave insightful reviews, all of which contribute to a continuously easy and efficient riding experience.

    With great pleasure, ASTC City Cabs announces the successful completion of three months of offering public transport services in Guwahati.

    In order to make the service completely hassle-free, we are now moving forward with the commercial launch by integrating our APP with PhonePe intent flow. In this way, the drivers can pay their bills with just a click of a button using any preferred UPI, and the passengers can pay their fares directly to the drivers using the same preferred UPI.

    A faster digital payment settlement method would be greatly facilitated by this.

    We are even more thrilled to notify everyone that ASTC City Cabs is now offering online taxi booking for all incoming passengers through the post-paid counter/kiosk at LGBI Airport. This will undoubtedly make it easier for travellers from other states who may not have the ASTC City Cab app to utilise our services.

    In the previous three months, over 60,000 passengers and over 9000 drivers have downloaded our app and used our services; for this, ASTC City Cabs is appreciative.

    ASTC's unwavering commitment to improving the ease of public transport services in Assam is demonstrated by the launch of ASTC City Cabs and PhonePe digital payment systems. To give its clients the best possible transportation experience, the company is constantly looking for new and creative methods to improve what it offers. To this end, it incorporates state-of-the-art technology.
