CIDCO said it is an upgrade from the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC), to make travel more convenient and efficient for commuters.

"This initiative is part of CIDCO's broader vision to deliver a world-class commuting experience through smart and inclusive mobility solutions," Goel said at the launch.

CIDCO is also working to introduce additional digital ticketing options:

A mobile-ticketing app

WhatsApp-based ticketing

Integration with the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC)

These features are expected to be rolled out in the coming months to enhance commuter convenience, said CIDCO.

The QR-based ticketing system has been designed and implemented by M/s Aurionpro Solutions Pvt. Ltd., under the supervision of CIDCO and the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (Maha Metro).

Metro Line-1 serves as a key corridor for thousands of daily commuters in Navi Mumbai. With the introduction of smart ticketing, CIDCO aims to increase ridership and improve overall commuter satisfaction.
