Bhubaneswar: Paper tickets in smart Mo Bus for tech challenged

BHUBANESWAR: To make Mo Bus service more inclusive, the Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) has decided to launch paper tickets for less tech-savvy people. Now, one who cannot operate smart phones can get a Mo pass to avail of the bus service.
The ‘freedom monthly pass’ will be distributed through kiosks at Master Canteen, Fire Station Square, Rasulgarh, Vani Vihar and KIIT (big bazaar square) in the city from Thursday.
The kiosks will remain operational from 9am to 7pm on working days. Those who buy the monthly passes before August 31 will not only get 25 per cent off on fares but also earn a five-day additional validity, Crut officials said.
Crut managing director Arun Bothra said the monthly passes have been launched to help those who are not tech- savvy so that they can also avail the offers. “Our team takes feedback from passengers through all modes of communications and work towards providing them with a world class service. The same endeavour will continue in the future,” Bothra added.
