Mumbai Metro One on Wednesday announced the launch of India's first
Mobile Ticketing System 'OnGo' which will help commuters pass the AFC
gates using their mobile phones, an official said in Mumbai.
The system is in the final advanced stage of testing and will be implemented by mid-August.
With this, the days of queuing up for single-return tickets, tokens, top-ups and store value passes will end.
Through
the Mumbai Metro App, commuters will be able to buy their token or pass
and generate a QR Code which will be used to gain access through the
automated fare collection (AFC) gates.
The 'OnGo' will be
particularly convenient for those commuters wanting to book their
journey through tokens or passes at their own convenience even from
outside the Metro stations and avoid queues before ticketing windows.
"The
new feature, the only one of its kind in the country, will add to the
overall Metro experience of the commuters. We will endeavour to
introduce even more customer-centric benefits in future," said a Mumbai
Metro One spokesperson.
Besides the app, tickets can also be bought though the payment partners' apps.
Commuters
will be able to generate a QR Code through 'OnGo' service for current
or future journeys upto a week in advance by clicking the mobile app
wherein they would pay for their journey.
For the commute, they
simply have to display the QR Code before a non-protruding glass on any
AFC gate specially installed for this new technology.
Mumbai
Metro is a consortium formed by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, MMRDA and
Veolia Transport SA, France, which constructed Maharashtra's first 11.40
km metro rail in Mumbai running between Versova, Andheri and Ghatkopar.
