Mumbai has the cheapest public transport in the world, according to analysts from Picodi, a global ticketing discount firm. The company reached this conclusion after researching public transport fares in 45 cities across the world and juxtaposing transport expenses with average local wages. However, when a comparison is made within India itself, when it comes to the monthly passes, citizens of Mumbai have to pay the highest price—Rs 3,570. The cheapest monthly pass—Rs 370—can be found in Nagpur.
“In our study, we took a closer look at single-ticket prices, as well as monthly passes, which allow for unlimited travel within the city limits. In three out of 45 cities, public transport is completely free for citizens—Luxembourg, the capital of Estonia, Tallinn and the capital of Malta, Valletta. Among other cities in our ranking, the most expensive single tickets can be found in London ($5.19), Zurich ($4.75) and Oslo ($3.91). On the other hand, the highest prices for monthly passes are paid by citizens of London ($271), Dublin ($166) and New York ($127). For comparison, a monthly pass in Mumbai costs only $15,” a report put out by the firm stated.
