BMRCL Managing Director Anjum Parwez highlighted the significance of this move, stating, “This expansion of the digital ticketing system is part of our long-term effort to integrate first-mile and last-mile connectivity. With auto and taxi services already available on the ONDC network since 2023, the inclusion of metro tickets becomes a key component of a multimodal transportation system.”
