By using GPS Bus Tracking & Monitoring System in approximately 200 buses in future, NMMT wants to set up Public Information System so that passengers will know when exactly a particular bus will reach their stop with help of LED displays etc.

Other Goals

• Smart Cards for Pass Holders

• Paperless Administration

• Development of Rabale Depot : Rabale Depot is located at Sector 6,Airoli. It will be 3rd operational depot in NMMT, allowing more routes to be handled.
