The release also highlighted the positive adoption of the Mumbai One Card, stating, "Approximately 40% of daily passengers, a total of 1,49,556 people, have opted for this convenient payment method."
This shift towards the Mumbai One Card not only improves convenience for commuters but also reduces the reliance on paper tickets, contributing to a more eco-friendly environment.
