Mumbai: Commuters on Metro Lines 2A and 7 can now book QR-code tickets through more than 14 popular mobile apps, following MMRDA and Maha Mumbai Metro’s integration of the service with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).The rollout comes weeks after the launch of the Mumbai One mobility app, which has recorded over 3.78 lakh downloads in two months. Officials said the ONDC tie-up will widen digital access, reduce queues and offer commuters the flexibility to book tickets on their preferred platforms.Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis launched the initiative on Wednesday in the presence of deputy chief minister and MMRDA chairman Eknath Shinde, principal secretary Ashwini Bhide, metropolitan commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee and MMMOCL managing director Rubal Agarwal.Ticket booking is now available on apps such as Confirmtkt, EaseMyTrip, Ixigo Trains, RedBus, RedRail, Navi UPI, OneTicket, Tripozo, Tummoc, Vodafone Idea, WhatsApp (via Pelocal) and Yatri Railways. More platforms, including Paytm, Uber and Rapido, are expected to join shortly.The integration, executed for MMRDA by Sequel String, supports the state’s push to strengthen digital public infrastructure under the Digital India mission. With 3.5 lakh daily riders on Lines 2A and 7 and another 37 km through Lines 2B and 9 expected to open soon, officials said digital ticketing will be key to streamlining end-to-end travel.
