The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has launched the Mumbai One App, India’s first common mobility platform unifying 11 public transport operators, including the suburban railway network, across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
You will be able to download and use the app from Thursday 5 am.
Key highlights
Mumbai One enables commuters to travel across metro, suburban rail, monorail, and bus services using a single digital quick response (QR)-based ticket.
The app connects 11 major public transport operators across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), offering commuters a truly unified mobility solution. It integrates various transit modes, including metro and monorail lines (Lines 1, 2A, 3, and 7, monorail, and Navi Mumbai Metro), Mumbai suburban railway, and key bus services operated by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), Thane Municipal Transport (TMT), Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Transport (MBMT), Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Transport (KDMT), and Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT).
The platform eliminates the need for multiple transport apps, paper tickets, or repeated bookings. It provides a single digital QR-based ticket system, making daily travel simpler and faster for users.
The app features a multilingual interface available in Hindi, Marathi, and English. It includes several safety features, such as a `Share My Location` option and an SOS Emergency Helpline, for the safety of commuters.
Mumbai One also includes a smart journey planner that suggests the fastest and most cost-effective routes based on real-time transit data. Further, the app offers guides to nearby attractions, cultural spots, and dining hubs, catering to both domestic and international travellers.
Promoting cashless and contactless transactions, the app supports all major digital wallets and prepaid balances.
The app has been launched by the Maharashtra Government; there are no additional charges for users, as all operating costs are covered by MMRDA.
Additional features include map-based booking, a locator for nearby stations and attractions, a city guide with curated local content, and real-time service alerts for smarter commuting decisions.
The app can handle up to 5 million transactions per day. It is also PCI DSS compliant.
