Boost Follows Success of Mumbai One App

“This expansion follows the rollout of the Mumbai One app, India’s first common mobility platform, which saw over 3.78 lakh downloads in two months. The ONDC-based system will simplify digital ticketing, reduce queues, and offer commuters the flexibility to choose their preferred booking app,” an official said.
