The new version has additional features like
1) Rate your experience of hailing the trip on an Auto/Taxi.

3) View autos/taxis with validated numbers.


Auto/Taxi
Users of this app will now be able to see the location of autorickshaws and taxis near to them and phone in an auto directly on the auto driver’s mobile phone. .. It is no longer necessary to look out for an auto on the streets. With the new PoochO app, getting autos is a great deal easier now.


Apart from this, the application also provides information on the estimated fare, trip distance & travel time ─ all of these by the shortest route ─ as well as the traffic condition on the route
The gives the following information:

NextBus
The application is currently available for Orange colored Delhi Transit buses, except for the Trip Planner and bus stop feature which gives data of the DTC bus routes also. The information for DTC operated buses for the rest of the features will be integrated into the application later.
The application has the following features:
• Occupancy Display: Gives tentative seat availability of the bus running on a route at a bus stop.
• Route Details: Shows the bus stops on the route and on clicking the bus stop, shows the ETA and tentative occupancy of the bus on that stop.
• Track location of a bus: Shows the real time location of the buses plying on the route on the map.
