Now, the plan to introduce a single ticketing system to travel in all modes of transport like MTC buses, metro trains and suburban trains etc in Chennai has reached the final stage.

It must be recalled that in the first meeting of CUMTA or Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority, approval was issued for a single ticket for travelling in the public transport across Chennai. After this meeting, the implementation of this began and a new app was also introduced.

In the first step, the passengers must register themselves in this new app by specifying their places of departure and destination. In the next step, the various modes of transport would have to be mentioned. By this, the total cost for the travel would be available for the passengers. The ticket amount must be paid by the passengers to get their travel ticket. By this ticket,  the passenger would be able to travel easily on the modes of transport specified by them.

Now, the final stage works have started for implementation of a single ticketing system in Chennai. It was mentioned by CUMTA special officer Mr. Jayakumar that the central govt based the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing has introduced the common mobility card in some cities in India. Steps are being taken now to implement the common mobility card in Chennai also. He concluded that soon there would be a meeting with several departments and then the implementation of the scheme would begin.
