According to the BEST officials, the plans can be purchased both on the BEST Chalo App and the BEST Chalo Card. It will be available on the app from December 1, 2022. The BEST Chalo card users can get the plan loaded on the card via the bus conductor or purchase it on the card starting December 3, 2022.
Over 30 lakh users have downloaded the BEST Chalo app, and more than 25 per cent of bus travellers now use it daily.
In November, BEST recorded five lakh digital trips in a day. The highest ever since the introduction of digital ticketing in the city. With the new plans being designed to encourage more Mumbaikars to experience the convenience of digital tickets, BEST is confident that this number is only set to grow.
Each digital trip offers a smoother hassle-free travel experience for bus passengers and saves cash handling effort and costs, and paper ticket costs.
