How does the Go Mumbai Smart Card Work:
How to Get Going:
Commuters can buy the Card at Service Delivery Points (SDP) across Mumbai. The commuter has to pay a one time cost of Rs.37/- which includes a card issuance (activation) fee Rs.10/-, a refundable security deposit of Rs.25/- and the ID card cost of Rs.2/-.
The commuter pays only Rs.5/- per month as facility usage charges per application. With Railways & BEST Bus Services being defined as 2 different applications a commuter pays Rs.5/- per month if the usage is limited to any one transit service. In case the usage is on both the transit systems the user pays Rs.10/- per month over and above the transit fares as defined by the Transit Service Providers.
The E-purse on the card can store a minimum of Rs.50/- to a maximum of Rs.2000/-. Subsequent top ups can be made depending on the cash balance on the card.
