Mee Ticket app plays crucial role in Saraswati Pushkaralu
HYDERABAD
Telangana's Electronic Service Delivery (ESD) division announced a major milestone in digital public service with rapid growth of the Mee Ticket mobile app.
Since its launch on January 9 this year by IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu, the app has logged over 50,000 downloads, facilitated more than ₹1 crore in transaction value, and served 25,000+ unique users through a unified digital ticketing system across public services, transport, tourism, and cultural events.
Developed to provide a seamless, cashless ticketing experience, Mee ticket currently supports bookings for Hyderabad Metro, public parks, zoos, temples, and museums. A highlight is its successful handling of over 83,000 tickets, including 58,000+ for parks and zoos and 8,300+ Metro rides, bringing in revenue of over ₹65 lakh and ₹22 lakh, respectively.
The app has played a crucial role at the launch of Saraswati Pushkaralu on May 15, where thousands of pilgrims arrived at the Triveni Sangamam. Officials said the platform will manage ticketing and service delivery throughout the 12-day event.
A release said that the upcoming features include integrated Telangana Tourism packages in partnership with TSTDC. These will cover spiritual circuits (Basara, Yadadri), eco-tourism (Bogatha Waterfalls, Laknavaram), and heritage destinations (Ramappa Temple, Warangal Fort), offering bundled services like transport and lodging within the app.
The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) will also integrate monthly and subsidised bus passes with QR verification, digital renewal alerts, and usage tracking, further expanding Mee Ticket's footprint among commuters.
Officials claimed the app's consistent 4.0+ rating and increasing adoption reinforce its role as a cornerstone of Telangana's digital governance ecosystem. Mee Ticket is available for download on major mobile platforms and continues to evolve as a smart, centralized ticketing hub for citizens and tourists alike.
