Mumbai Metro One Launches WhatsApp-Based Digital Passes for Commuters
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. This initiative aims to enhance convenience, reduce ticket counter queues, and build on existing WhatsApp ticketing services.
