The rail has also joined forces with DTC to provide mobility services from stations. DTC will coordinate the location of taxis, buses, limousines, and VIP vehicles for passengers and will have plans in place to manage congestion and secure smooth customer exit. For peace of mind, DTC’s partnership with Bolt, means that passengers will be able to seamlessly book taxis and limousines directly via the Bolt app.
