01 Apr 2026 CW Team

In Delhi NCR Cityflo is deploying over 200 buses across more than 30 new routes connecting residential areas in Delhi, Noida, Faridabad and Gurgaon to commercial destinations including DLF Cyber City and Sohna Road. In Kolkata the company has launched services with 200 buses serving corridors between key residential hubs and commercial districts, notably Sector V and the New Town Business District. The networks are structured around express routing and reserved seating to cater to daily commuters.

The service model emphasises reserved seating, express routes, live customer support and safety protocols, which the company cites as differentiators from public transport and private cars. Cityflo said it serves five million (mn) professionals annually and reported a 50 per cent increase in active daily ridership over the past year, and that its buses collectively replace about one point six million (mn) private car trips each year across operating cities. These metrics are presented as evidence of commuter willingness to adopt shared transit when services are dependable and comfortable.

Cityflo’s leadership indicated that experience in existing markets underpinned the expansion and that the firm plans to deepen route density, broaden corporate partnerships and accelerate a shift to an electric fleet. The longer-term objective is to establish shared transit as the primary commute choice for urban professionals across India’s major metropolises. Cityflo was founded in 2015 by IIT Bombay alumni Jerin Venad, Rushabh Shah, Ankit Agrawal and Sankalp Kelshikar and counts Lightbox Ventures, Chiratae Ventures, India Quotient, Alteria Capital and Anupam Mittal among its investors.
