To make commuting across Mumbai easier, Maharashtra State Environment Minister Aditya Thackeray inaugurated the tap-in tap-out service on the Gateway of India to Churchgate route.
Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST), according to Aditya Thackeray, is India’s first fully digital bus service.
All ten buses on this route will be equipped with this technology in a matter of days, and it will eventually be expanded to all 438 ways.
This is the country’s first-ever 100 percent digital bus service, according to Lokesh Chandra, BEST’s General Manager (GM), to increase the digitalization of the bus ticketing system.
Travelers can tap in using their smart card or the ‘Chalo’ app on their telephones, providing comfort and ease.
The tourist will obtain a receipt on their phone if they tap out using the app, and they will be able to collect their ticket if they use the smart card.
