Known as the ‘One Nation One Card’, the inter-operable transport card, will enable passengers to make payment of multiple kinds of transport charges, including metro and bus services, through a common card.
The concept of a single card to meet all of your travel needs has now become a reality! The National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) for the Delhi Metro was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. Under the ambitious Digital India initiative of PM Modi, the newly introduced NCMC card is intended to drive the country towards a cashless economy.
Benefits of NCMC
Now, Delhi Metro commuters will have an all-new, all-inclusive travel card. Notice that it’s also not a standard metro card. The new card is valid for the Delhi Airport Express Line, which is 23 km long and runs from New Delhi to Dwarka Sector 21. It is an automated fare collection system that allows you to use metro services using your mobile phone. The new card can also be used for bus services apart from this, and is a popular card known as the ‘One Country One Card’. For travellers who use public transport on a regular basis, the interoperable card is a blessing. The card will actually enable you to pay for parking fees, retail shopping, toll taxes, and even money withdrawals.
Uses
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that it will now be possible for passengers from any part of the world to use this card on the Airport Express line. NCMC will allow 23 banks to swipe for Metro travel for passengers carrying a RuPay debit card issued in the last 18 months. By 2022, this facility will become accessible on the entire Delhi Metro network,” a spokesman for the DMRC said.” To get the RuPay One Nation One Card with National Popular Mobility Card help, the user will have to contact the bank.
One of the many benefits of the card is that, with the help of your phone, it will allow you to enter and exit the metro lines. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has previously reported that in many countries around the world, including the Seoul Metro System in South Korea, the facility to use cell phones to enter and exit the automatic fare collection (AFC) gates is present. The AFC system will completely accept NCMC, which can also be used in any city throughout the world, in the upcoming Delhi Metro Phase-IV project. You are currently expected to obtain a QR code from the counter while travelling on the Delhi Metro Airport Express Line. But you can create such QR codes on your cell phones to cross the gates in the future. The AFC system will completely accept NCMC, which can also be used in any city throughout the world, in the upcoming Delhi Metro Phase-IV project.
