Citizens who rely on city buses to commute will no longer have to queue up in front of ticket counters to buy passes. The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), on Wednesday, launched a digital pass system that will allow passengers to purchase daily, weekly, and monthly passes online.
BMTC Managing Director Anbu Kumar said the new project has been introduced on a pilot basis for a period of three months to assess how Bengalureans respond to it.
“The corporation in collaboration with Tummoc [a commute solutions platform] has introduced a digital pass system. Passengers have to download the Tummoc mobile app and create a profile by providing minimum KYC details. Passes can be purchased using the app with a unique ID and dynamic QR code, “ said Mr. Kumar. In future, digital passes feature will be provided in the BMTC mobile app along with the existing mobile app.
