Bengaluru is introducing app-based metro and bus ticketing to enhance seamless public transport, using open data from BMRCL and BMTC.
The initiative, named Enroute: Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) Challenge, is led by Mercedes-Benz R&D India, WRI India, and Villgro with support from BMTC and BMRCL.
Winning start-ups from the Enroute Challenge, Namma Yatri and Tummoc, will implement tech-driven end-to-end journey planning and ticket purchasing features in the apps.
The integrated ticketing features will be rolled out gradually, showcasing Bengaluru's commitment to open data, ecosystem-led innovation, and enhancing commuter-friendly mobility solutions.
