The Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) announced a limited-period ‘One Rupee Ticket’ offer for users of the Chennai One daily commute app.
The campaign launched on Thursday, allows commuters to ride a bus, metro or a suburban train for ₹1, when they pay using the BHIM Payments App or Navi UPI.
According to a press release, the offer applies only to tickets successfully used for travel and cannot be combined with other promotions.
One-time use
The offer can be availed only once per registered Chennai One account in either bus, metro, or suburban trains during the campaign’s duration.
“The Chennai One app was launched by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on September 22. In its first month, the app had crossed 5.5 lakh registered users, 14 lakh journey searches, and 8.1 lakh tickets booked. Our goal is to make public transport the natural choice for daily commuting while promoting cashless payments,” I. Jeyakumar, the Member Secretary of CUMTA, stated.
Users will receive cashback benefit on subsequent transactions during the campaign period, with full terms available in the app, the release added.
