Ola and Uber will be setting up booking kiosks at 12 railway stations in Bengaluru.
The three-year-agreement signed for Rs 51-crore with both operators is the first time that the railways was raising such a huge sum through non-fare revenue.
The Ministry of Railways will soon introduce this in other divisions.
Besides providing space for their kiosks, the agreement allows both Ola & Uber to park a certain number of their cabs at the railway stations.
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has also provided space for Ola and Uber to set up their kiosks on a tender basis.
