Launches new taptap wristband for metro one passengers.
Extract:
In a significant move, Mumbai Metro
has introduced the TapTap wristband as a novel ticketing option for Metro 1
passengers.
This wristband
allows commuters to swiftly access the metro by scanning a QR code at the entry
point, with a price tag of 200 rupees.
With over 4
lakh passengers utilizing the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro 1 line, this
innovative ticketing approach is set to streamline the commuting experience for
many.

My Take:
Tap In / Tap Out….18/02/2023
"The
integration of digital ticketing systems in public transport, such as the Tap
In/Tap Out feature in Mumbai's e-double decker buses, showcases a step towards
modernizing transportation infrastructure.
Back in 2016,
I emphasized the shift towards air-conditioned buses, the implementation of Bus
Rapid Transit Systems (BRTS), and the necessity of real-time bus arrival
indicators.
The
introduction of such digital solutions not only enhances commuter convenience
but also aligns with the vision of efficient public transportation
systems."

A Rose By Any Other
Name….22/04/2022
"The
advent of digital bus passes with Tap In/Tap Out features in Mumbai's
eco-friendly buses signals a progressive shift in urban mobility. In my 2016
blog post, I highlighted public transport as a sustainable solution and the
importance of technological advancements in reducing pollution.
The evolution
towards seamless ticketing experiences and the integration of digital
innovations like BHIM and ARJUN into transit systems echo the continuous drive
towards a more efficient and environmentally conscious public transport
network."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call to Action:
To the Mumbai Metro authorities, I
suggest exploring further technological advancements to enhance the commuter
experience, such as integrating contactless payment systems or introducing
personalized travel recommendations based on commuter usage patterns.
