Introduced as part of new infrastructure upgrades, the Mumbai 1 card will allow passengers to access suburban rail travel, as well as book tickets on the Mumbai Metro, monorail, and public buses.
CM Fadnavis stated that the state government will soon roll out the card across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
Features
With this card, passengers can book tickets through a software application already in use on Metro Rail Lines 1, 2A, and 7. The state government and Indian Railways are also working to integrate additional public transport modes.
According to the government, the ‘Mumbai 1’ card will be launched within a month.
Co-branded by the State Bank and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the card is prepaid and offers the following features:
Easy contactless payments with a tap-to-go feature and stored value usable across different stations
Chip protection for enhanced card security
Ability to book a single ticket from point A to point B across multiple modes of transport
Elimination of the need to stand in queues multiple times a day
