Mumbai: Immediately, your cellphone will be a bus ticket for the best red bus in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, said General Manager Lokesh Chandra on Tuesday.
At present, commuters who use the new ‘Chalo’ mobile application are introduced to have to buy online tickets, but the same needs to be validated on the bus by conductors who issue paper tickets.
“In the next few days, we will eliminate paper tickets completely for cellular applications.
They buy electronic tickets will need to validate the same as the conductor during the trip, but the conductor in turn will issue e-receipts on your mobile.
This electronic receipt will only be like Valid paper tickets, “he said.
It will be environmentally friendly, minimize the use of paper rolls and add to the comfort of passengers.
Also, the best plan to introduce a system where you can order tickets in the ‘Chalo’ application from one point to another and take a bus from any route in that direction.
At present, people must mention the “route number” bus while ordering a ticket.
“In the near future, we improve our application where commuters do not need to mention any route numbers, but can climb any bus on the same route to achieve the destination,” other senior officials said.
This decision has approached the commuter heel who complained on Tuesday that he had booked a ticket on a particular bus route number, but did not get the bus.
He instead entered another bus in the same direction, but was told by the conductor that the tickets were “invalid.”
