PoochO is an innovative new transportation being launched by the government of the city of Delhi in India that is designed to make it easier than ever for customers to book the country's ubiquitous auto rickshaws -- as well as taxis -- from the comfort of their smartphone devices.
The city of Delhi is estimated to be home to as many as 80,000 auto rickshaws that are widely used by people despite it usually not being possible to book vehicles in advance. This is exactly what the PoochO app aims to change.
This highly innovative transportation app could certainly go a long way towards reducing gridlock in Delhi, and make it easier than ever for people to get around in a city that is known to be a huge hassle to commute in.
