Bengaluru: The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) will soon introduce the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) system.

The citizens can travel on Namma Metro and also on the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) using a single card. It will also help commuters to save the time they spend standing in queue for tickets.

The BMRC has also installed QR-code compliant Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates.

The AFC has been installed at Phase-1 stations and Phase-2 stations are equipped with both the National Common Mobility Card system and QR-code compliant AFC gates.

The BMRCL is waiting for Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s date to launch the NCMC system.

Earlier, on March 5, 2019, the One Nation One Card scheme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that will enable travellers to avail multiple transport facilities across the country.
