• Its ‘One City, One Ticket’ feature will let riders use a single QR code across buses, metro and suburban rail, described by officials as a first in an Indian city.
• The app will be available in Tamil, English, Telugu and Hindi, with officials saying it should reduce ticket queues and simplify transfers between modes.
