Soon, urban commuters would be able to travel in every single metro rail service in India using a single smart card, Times of India has reported.
Under this initiative, commuters would be able to avail a limited number of trips on various metro networks in the country. This is reportedly said to be separate from the One Nation One Card initiative which the Central government is already planning for various modes of public transport like buses and metro. The card can also be used to make retail purchases.
As this card needs regulatory compliance like KYC, people visiting a particular city or India for a limited period may find it inconvenient to use. To solve this problem the limited period smart card has been envisioned
As per the Urban Affairs Ministry this card can be obtained by showing identity proof like a passport for foreigners and Aadhaar card for Indians and is likely to be launched in the next six months.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
