Earlier, passengers were required to visit the Sector 10 city bus depot and apply for the city bus pass, said officials privy to matter. "The latest update of the Gurugaman app will enable passengers to purchase passes directly by entering their identification details. Until now, passengers could only purchase e-tickets," a senior GMCBL official said, requesting anonymity. Officials said that the passengers can now additionally benefit from a 10% discount on the fair amount by booking tickets online. "The charges of the pass will be decided by its duration of service. Passengers can buy online passes of either one, three or six months at a time," the senior official added. Other than buying passes, the app allows passengers to recharge them and decide their routes based on buses' availability on those stretches.
