1) Open Transit Data (OTD)
Open transit data refers to publicly-accessible transportation information like schedules and routes, offered in a standardized format. Its openness enables developers and researchers to create apps and services that enhance transportation efficiency.
IIIT Delhi with the support of DMRC has started publishing its transit data like station details, fares, and schedules in General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format on the OTD platform of Delhi (https://otd.delhi.gov.in/). It will improve the overall transit experience and will lead to the dissemination of information to passengers and will help to create a more seamless and efficient travel experience within the metro system. By providing access to transit data, applications and services can be developed that provide information to passengers in various ways, such as through mobile apps, websites, or digital displays at transit stops and stations.

The marketing companies can buy time slots online for advertisement, make payments online and upload the advertising content (video/static).
This is the first of its kind project initiated in any metro system in India. This collaboration signifies a step forward in technological innovation within the transit industry, as DMRC and IIIT-Delhi together embark on a journey to enhance passenger experience, advance technology, and reshape the future of public transportation.
