Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has now made new changes to recharge their smart cards by using Paytm application services and also at major BMTC bus stations.

Earlier commuters were facing trouble to recharge their smart cards due to shortage of PoS swiping machine at metro stations.

The latest move by the BMRCL has been welcomed by people who feel happy because the journey time to their destination will be shorter.  

The BMRCL introduced metro smart cards to promote cashless transactions and ensure a hassle-free journey for commuters. 

According to a senior BMRCL official, “The PAYTM app for recharge will be introduced in a few days. We are also discussing the issue with some bank officials to make the online payment option available. People should not compare the metro here to those in other cities because every metro works on a different system. We are doing our best to make our commuters feel good while travelling.”
