Mumbai’s one ticket system: After state-railway tussle over payment, Niti wants uniformity
The state government’s plan to launch a one-ticket system for all of Mumbai’s public transport modes by the end of December may be further delayed.
The ₹140-crore integrated ticketing system will let the city’s more than one crore commuters access suburban trains, metro, monorail, buses, autorickshaws and taxis using a single card or mobile app. The system had first faced delays as state authorities and railways were unable to agree on how commuters will pay for tickets.
