Service holders have to provide the name of their residential area, where they will travel to and from where. One pass will have a time limit of about 10 hours and will cover a single trip, meaning two passes will be needed for a round trip. After completing registration, a person would be provided with a pass with a QR code through which the police personnel at different check posts can verify the pass.
