    Bus Pass Scheme in detail The Undertaking has introduced RF-ID based Bus Passes for its esteemed commuters. The Bus Pass will be issued at the authorized Point of Sale (PoS) of the Undertaking.

The following rates will come in force from 16/09/2015: i) Distance-wise bus pass values (on Km basis) Distance Fare (`) Within Mumbai Municipal Slab(Kms) Limits (`) Monthly Quarterly 2 8.00 390 1160 4 10.00 480 1440 6 14.00 680 2020 10 18.00 870 2600 14 22.00 1060 3170 20 26.00 1250 3750 Distance is computed on following principles: If direct route exists between the origin and destination, then distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If more than one direct route exists between the origin and destination, minimum distance between these stops is considered for calculating the bus pass value. If direct route is not available between the origin and destination, then distance is calculated of the routes with one change-over point.

    India’s First Monorail comes to Mumbai Mumbai creates history To be operational very soon Mumbai is all set to create history. India’s financial capital will soon see a brand new mode of transport – The Monorail. For the past few days, the pleasantly coloured Monorail has been doing rounds every 15 minutes between Chembur and Wadala; much to the excitement of Mumbaikars. The entire city has been awaiting the launch of this brand new mode of urban transport; which has already become the talk of the town. Both, the Mono and Metro Rails will share the burden of suburban rails and will help provide more comfortable journey within the city. The East-West connectivity offered by the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro corridor and the availability of a Monorail from Wadala to Chembur which areas are not connected with rail based transport will surely be welcomed by the city. The first phase of the Monorail – from Wadala to Chembur, an 8.93-km stretch – is now ready. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is, therefore, happy to showcase the progress achieved so far. The construction of the switch-deck at Chembur, in particular, was an accomplishment in itself as the area is too congested coupled with bustling traffic and pedestrian activity. The construction on RC Marg was yet another challenge. But, the support from the local residents, local representatives and great cooperation from the MCGM and Traffic Police made the task easy. Now, that the safety certificate is processed and granted, the Monorail will be commissioned soon. The Monorail project is being implemented in two phases – Chembur to Wadala and Wadala to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk.
