Datamatics Global Services has strengthened its collaboration with Mumbai Metro by rolling out its automated fare collection (AFC) and mobile ticketing solutions on Metro Lines 2B and 9. This marks a continued expansion of its technology deployment across the city’s rapidly growing metro network.
Commenting on the development, Vice Chairman and CEO Rahul Kanodia said the company takes pride in its ongoing partnership with Mumbai Metro, following earlier deployments on Lines 2A and 7. He noted that the latest implementation aims to enable faster, smarter, and more seamless mobility for commuters across the city.
Kanodia added that the association is especially significant for Datamatics, given that the company is headquartered in Mumbai and the projects directly benefit millions of residents.
With the addition of Lines 2B and 9, the AFC system is expected to further streamline passenger movement through features such as contactless payments, digital ticketing, and improved access control. These enhancements are aimed at reducing queues and improving overall commuter experience.
Beyond its work in Mumbai, Datamatics highlighted its global presence in AFC systems, having delivered over 30 projects across major international transit networks. These include cities such as London, New York, Melbourne, Hong Kong, and Dubai. The company also referenced its implementation for the Memphis Area Transit Authority in the United States.
In India, Datamatics has delivered similar AFC solutions for key transit systems, including the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System, Kolkata Metro, Pune Metro, and Lucknow Metro, along with the ropeway system at the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu.
