Metro commuters can now use one card for ride on three lines
Commuters can now use a common mobility card for taking metro trains on the three operational lines in the city – Blue (Metro 1), Red (Metro 7), and Yellow (Metro 2A), covering a length of more than 30 km.
Nearly 11 months after the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) launched ‘Mumbai1’, the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC), for Metro 2A and 7 lines, the Mumbai Metro One has made all its automatic fare collection (AFC) gates at the 12 stations on the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar route compatible with the card.
Since its introduction, 1,68,324 ‘Mumbai1’ cards have been sold on Metro 7 (Gundavali to Dahisar East) and Metro 2A (Dahisar to Andheri West), constituting almost 40% of the ridership, while the remaining tickets have been sold at the counters, officials said and added MMRDA had partnered with the State Bank of India for NCMC.
