Before we delve into how to make a Mo Bus pass, let us check the different types of Mo Bus pass available.

What are the Different Types of Mo Bus Pass?

Here are the different types of passes that Mo Bus offers:

1. AC Pass

This pass allows you unlimited travel on AC buses on any Mo Bus route. This pass is generally more expensive than the non-AC pass. With an AC pass, you can use it on both AC and non-AC buses.

2. Non-AC Pass

This pass allows unlimited travel on any Mo Bus route, but only on non-AC buses. This pass is not valid on AC buses. You will likely have to pay the regular fare if you get on an AC bus with the non-AC mo bus pass. 

3. Bhubaneswar Pass

This pass is valid only for travel within the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) limits. So, if you mostly travel within Bhubaneswar, this pass might be the most economical option.

4. Magic Pass

This pass allows unlimited travel on most Mo Bus operational routes within the Mo Bus service area, except for Puri and Konark (beyond Pipili). The Magic Pass is available in three, weekly, monthly, and quarterly options.

5. Route Pass

This pass is designed for frequent riders on a specific Mo Bus route. You can choose the validity period for this pass, with options like 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, and 90 days.

This pass is the most economical option if you primarily use one route. However, it’s important to note that Route Passes are not valid on some specific routes (Routes 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 60, 61, 70 & 71).
