This move is expected to enhance travel flexibility, reduce complexities, and support the government's vision of an integrated transport infrastructure.

Both organisations are committed to leveraging technology and infrastructure improvements to support this initiative. The 'One India, One Ticket' system aims to improve passenger satisfaction and promote a more unified and accessible transport network across the country.
