Mumbai railways will now be offering season passes for six months and one year from April 1. This will be for the first time that suburban rail passes will be available for such a long period, unlike the current system of monthly and quarterly.

The Railway Ministry has decided to introduce half-yearly season tickets (HST) and yearly season tickets (YST) in addition to the provision of monthly season tickets & quarterly season tickets in an effort to make the lives of suburban commuters easier.
