TN CM launches Chennai One mobile app for travelling in public transport thru single QR ticket
Chennai, Sep 22 (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday launched the "Chennai One" mobile App, enabling commuters to travel in all public transport systems and even government-approved autos, by purchasing a single ticket.
The Chennai One App developed by the Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) is India’s first such one, the government said.
"Plan, book, and track your commute across @MtcChennai Bus, @cmrlofficial Metro, @GMSRailway Suburban Rail, Autos & Cabs with a single QR ticket. One City. One Ticket. One App. Now live in Chennai," CUMTA said in a post on the social media platform 'X'.
This integrated public transport ticketing system through the App was launched by the Chief Minister at the Secretariat here.
It integrates Metro, MTC, Namma Yatri autos and cabs. MRTS and suburban trains will be included soon, CUMTA, the nodal agency for transport in Chennai, said.
This new system will dispense with agonising long waits in queues.
“No more confusion. Just one city. One ticket. One App. Chennaiites can travel seamlessly across all modes with a single QR ticket,” the agency said on 'X'.
The App can be downloaded on iOS and Android to experience the future of travel in Chennai, it said.
Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who participated in the launch, said the initiative would make travel easier.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
