Online travel company, MakeMyTrip together with L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, today, introduced QR code-based e-tickets for Hyderabad metro that will provide cashless, convenient and connected experience to over 4 lakh riders using the service every day.
The tech-powered ticket booking feature will help commuters beat queues at the metro stations and experience seamless connectivity. The feature, embedded with a Quick Response (QR) code will allow riders to pre-book various type of tickets.
Starting today, commuters will be able to book the ‘Single and return Journey ticket’ and in the subsequent phases, Trip Pass and Store Value Pass can be booked through MakeMyTrip’s website and app. Additionally, one of the biggest advantages of the feature is that riders will be able to book six tickets in a single transaction and share those (six) QR codes with other riders on WhatsApp; a functionality introduced for the first time in the history of Indian metro e-ticket booking system.
