In a relief for Amdavadis, the Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) launched the ‘Ahmedabad Metro (Official)’ mobile ticketing application on Wednesday.

Now, commuters can easily book their tickets using the app, which for now is only available on Android, and will soon be available for iPhone users, too.

The app facilitates users to purchase tickets through Debit/Credit cards and UPI, offering a more efficient and paperless way to travel on the metro.

How to book Ahmedabad metro tickets online?

• Download the Ahmedabad Metro (Official) application from the Play Store. (iOS users will be able to download the app from December 23.)
• Register your mobile number and add details like name, email, gender, date of birth and language.
• Click on the ‘Book Ticket’ icon and choose from which station of the metro you are in and where you want to go, along with the number of passengers.
• After clicking on ‘Confirm Ticket’, your ticket fare will be visible on the screen. You will be given payment options via UPI and through Debit/Credit cards.
• If the payment fails, a refund will be credited to your registered account within 7 business days.

The move simplifies ticketing procedures for commuters to save time. Moreover, it was also reported that the previous paper QR slips were ineffective to scan which led to long queues at exit and entry gates.

One could also encounter lots of discarded and used paper slips at metro station premises.
