Now, call auto rickshaws on demand in Ludhiana

A new mobile app which will help you call auto rickshaws on demand, Jugnoo, is now available in Ludhiana after making a successful debut in Chandigarh.

Users can download Jugnoo, register with their email address and start using the service. Once a user has logged in, his exact location is pin-pointed on a map. When he requests for a ride, the nearest autos receive the request. They have one minute to respond before the request is sent to another set of auto drivers till the ride is accepted. The driver who accepts the ride is directed to the pick-up location.

The passengers too can track the auto rickshaws location on the map in real time, estimate it's time of arrival and can view the driver's contact number, photograph and other details.

Speaking at the launch of App, Samar Singla, CEO of Jugnoo said that the main aim was to make an app which can be used to call an auto anywhere, anytime with click of a button.

"After giving the benefit of economical and hassle free ride to the residents of Chandigarh; we realized to take the initiative forward and hence we are in Ludhiana today to launch the Application. We realized that the multitude of people travelling by autos face issues like safety, tardiness, rude behavior, unavailability and unfair rates. The thought behind Jugnoo was to use technology and bring an app which can be used to call an auto anywhere, anytime with click of a button while ensuring that the rates are cheaper than the comparable rates charged by auto drivers in a locality," Singla said.

Any auto rickshaw driver of the city can become a member of the Jugnoo team and offer his independent services to commuters. The app can be downloaded from Google Play store or iOS store for free.
