i-Pass Ahmedabad: Revolutionizing Public Transit with Digital Convenience

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation introduces the 'i-Pass Ahmedabad' mobile app, allowing users to purchase or renew bus passes online for AMTS and BRTS services. The app facilitates digital transactions, benefiting commuters, particularly senior citizens and students, by offering discounts and streamlining public transport access.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has unveiled the 'i-Pass Ahmedabad' app, streamlining how commuters obtain and renew bus passes online. This innovation caters to users of Ahmedabad's Municipal Transport Services (AMTS) and the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS), making physical visits to service counters obsolete.

Senior citizens, for instance, benefit tremendously by avoiding long lines, thanks to this digital service. The app simplifies the process with document uploads, digital payment options, and immediate access to digital passes. Physical passes remain available for those who prefer them.

Focused on boosting public transport usage, the initiative offers generous subsidies; students receive discounted passes while senior citizens enjoy either waived fees or free lifetime travel. Future improvements aim at reducing traffic congestion by promoting public over private transportation.
