Route Mobile, a cloud communication platform service provider, has partnered with Billeasy, a Mumbai-based integration partner, and Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) to launch a unique ticketing experience using Rich Communication Services (RCS) and Google Wallet.

This will enable commuters to book e-tickets, save them in Google Wallet, and access them across multiple channels .

RCS allows commuters to book tickets directly from their default Android messaging app — Google Messages — eliminating the need to wait in ticketing queues at stations or download additional apps. Commuters need to simply scan the QR code and send a text via Google Messages to L&T Metro Rail’s official handle. They are then guided to select their source, destination, and ticket type.
