The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport Corporation (NMMT) has launched the Ridlr mobile ticketing service for buses in Mumbai, enabling passengers to book tickets in advance via the Ridlr app available on Google Play Store.

Ridlr is a commuting app which provides real time information for diverse transit modes, including train, bus and metro along with mobile ticketing needs. Ridlr also gives its commuters live traffic updates so that the commuters can steer clear of congestion by taking alternate routes.

Booking a ticket of the application is as simple as selecting the destination and paying through the mobile wallet for an e-ticket. This ticket is then to be shown to the conductor for validation. Currently being piloted on selected routes, the solution will eventually be rolled out across all NMMT routes.

Shirish Aradwad, NMMT transport manager, said, "This move is in line with the Corporation's commitment to offer a better commuting experience to the residents of Navi Mumbai. After mulling over several initiatives, we were pleased to go ahead with Ridlr's ticketing solution, as it was a completely hassle-free and user friendly."
