Now, travel will be done with a digital card.
This card, launched in Delhi, is based on the National Common Mobility Card framework. This will make the bus ticketing process completely digital, reducing long queues and the need for paper tickets. The card will include identification such as a photo and QR code, preventing misuse. The government's goal is to ensure women can travel comfortably to work, college, or for essential purposes without paying fares. This initiative is considered a major step towards making public transport in the capital safer and more modern.
Bus, Metro, and RRTS with a single card
The Saheli Pink Smart Card will not be limited to DTC buses. It will also enable passengers to travel on the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and National Capital Region Transport Corporation networks.
