Soon, Mumbai Will Get Mitra UTS

Major arrangements are ongoing for an integrated ticketing system for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The primary reason behind launching something new and innovative is for seamless urban mobility and to save commuters from the hassle of using different methods and platforms for booking multiple transportation facilities. The government shared crucial updates about this all-new step.

Mumbai will soon get a Unified Ticketing System named ‘Mitra’. Its key purpose will be to integrate several public transportation modes such as BEST buses, MSRTC buses, cabs, suburban trains, and metros. On Saturday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw conducted a meeting. During the meeting, they discussed the introduction of the integrated ticketing system and its positive impacts to help commuters daily.

The single ticketing platform for MMR commuters aims to simplify the public transport network operations for passengers. With this advanced system, commuters can easily book tickets for the integrated transportation modes and make payments via only one platform. With the help of artificial intelligence, users can use the app conveniently and plan journeys with a single ticket via a single platform.
