Mumbai local trains to start a new QR code-based e-pass soon

To maintain social distancing norms, the Central Railways and Western Railways are planning to launch a QR based electronic-pass for the daily commuters of Mumbai local trains. Mumbai local trains have resumed their services today after a gap of two-and-a-half months. “Approximately 1.25 lakh essential staff identified by the state government are expected to travel by these trains," read a statement issued by the Central Railways and Western Railways. It will run train services on its main line — between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to Thane, Kalyan, Karjat and Kasara and the Harbour line — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Panvel.
