The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), in collaboration with Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and RBL Bank, has unveiled the integration of RuPay On-The-Go cards across all Bengaluru Metro Lines. This initiative is a major step in advancing the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) program in the city, enhancing commuter convenience.
With the launch of the Yellow Line, commuters can now tap their NCMC-compliant RuPay On-The-Go cards to board trains, simplifying their daily travel experience. These co-branded cards, available at Ticket Office Machine (TOM) counters across 83 BMRCL stations, including the newly inaugurated Yellow Line from RV Road to Bommasandra, offer a quick and easy option for seamless metro access.
RuPay On-The-Go card eliminates the hassle
The RuPay On-The-Go card eliminates the hassle of purchasing separate tickets or carrying multiple cards, benefiting commuters ranging from office-goers to students. Passengers can conveniently top-up their cards through cash, UPI, or debit/credit cards at TOM counters. A QR code on the card allows users to top-up using apps like BHIM, Google Pay, or PhonePe. Alternatively, the RBL Bank app also facilitates easy management and loading of the card balance.
The card’s offline functionality ensures that transactions are processed even in low connectivity zones, making it ideal for frequent travelers. With the added benefit of stored value travel, passengers can use the same card for multiple journeys.
