Mumbai Metro One has introduced a new digital pass system on WhatsApp for commuters traveling on the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar route. The service, called DG-Pass, allows passengers to purchase and store multi-trip and value passes digitally, eliminating the need for physical tickets. Passes can be accessed via Google Wallet and Apple Wallet on smartphones.
There are two options: Trip Pass for a fixed number of journeys and Store Value Pass for a set amount that deducts fare with each ride. Commuters can purchase passes by messaging "Hi" to Mumbai Metro One on WhatsApp (+91 9670008889), selecting "Book Now" and choosing the "Digital Pass" option, and then selecting Trip Pass or Store Value Pass.
Payments can be made via UPI, debit card, or credit card, with the digital pass issued electronically. The system builds on Mumbai Metro One's existing WhatsApp e-ticketing service launched in November 2022. CEO Shyamantak Choudhury stated that the new digital pass offers commuters greater flexibility and convenience while reducing the need for repeated physical ticket purchases.
