Mumbai Metro One Launches WhatsApp-Based Digital Passes for CommutersPreviousNext

Mumbai Metro One has introduced a digital pass system on WhatsApp for commuters on the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor. Passengers can purchase multi-trip or stored-value passes via a simple three-step process without needing a separate app or physical ticket. Payments are supported through UPI, debit, and credit cards, with passes accessible on smartphones via Google Wallet or Apple Wallet.
