Mumbai Metro's Line 3 now on Open Network for Digital Commerce; QR-based tickets to be available across apps
Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) announced on Wednesday that Metro Line 3 will be connected to the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), enabling passengers to book QR-based tickets through multiple consumer apps to travel on the fully underground Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ corridor. This move eliminates the need for separate metro ticketing apps or standing in long queues at ticket counters. Passengers can now use widely available platforms such as EaseMyTrip, RedBus, OneTicket, Tummoc, Yatri-City Travel Guide, Highway Delite, and even Telegram-based Miles & Kilometres to purchase tickets. The OneTicket app also allows seamless travel across Metro Lines 1, 2A, 7 and now 3, enabling end-to-end metro journeys within Mumbai through a single digital interface. 'Integration of Metro Line 3 with the ONDC platform is a landmark step toward building a truly interoperable and inclusive urban mobility ecosystem. By enabling QR-based ticketing through multiple trusted apps, we are not only enhancing commuter convenience but also contributing to the broader vision of a digitally connected India,' said Ashwini Bhide, Managing Director, MMRCL, in a statement. Officials said this is part of a broader effort to make Mumbai's metro system more accessible and technology-friendly as it scales up to handle millions of daily commuters across the city. 'The ONDC network, backed by the Government of India, is designed to facilitate open and inclusive digital commerce by allowing various service providers to operate on a shared infrastructure. By joining this network, Metro Line-3 becomes the first fully underground metro corridor in the country to embrace this interoperable ticketing model,' said an MMRCL spokesperson. The line is expected to see partial commissioning soon with full operations anticipated in phases.
