NEW DELHI: Now you can use your smartphone to hire an autorickshaw in the national capital with a new app 'Pooch-O', which has been launched by Delhi's lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung.

Delhi Integrated Multi-Model Transit System (DIMTS) has developed Pooch-O, which will allow Android users to locate GPS-equipped autos nearest to them and call its driver, whose numbers are registered with DIMTS, on their mobile phones and book a trip.

Users have to ensure that the GPS of their phone is on and can find out auto nearest to them through Maps.

Launching Pooch-O at his secretariat, Jung said that this is very advanced technology, which would be very useful especially for women travelling in auto at night.

"After booking auto through this app, commuters can share their travel details on Facebook and Twitter so that their friends and family members can get to know about their locations. Besides, there are several security elements in this app," Jung told reporters.

Jung also said that they can also give their feedbacks on their travels in auto on Pooch-O app.

"Pooch-O users can also calculate estimated fare for their trip and even track the auto to check if it is coming towards them or not after calling its drivers. This app will soon be available on iPhone. Auto drivers will also be benefited with this app as they will easily have passengers," SN Sahai, managing director (DIMTS) said.

Sahai said that there are 24,000 autos in Delhi which are fitted with GPS and hope that more autos will come under GPS so that a large number of people can be befitted with this app.

Additonal CP (traffic) Anil Shukla, who was also present, said that if a driver refused to take Pooch-O users, he would then be penalized with a heavy fine.

"Traffic police will be asked to connect this app to its website, their traffic apps so that if auto driver refuses commuters without any reason, strict action would be taken against them," Jung said.
