Niti Aayogs One Nation One Card initiative is getting closer to become a reality in Bhopal. After floating an expression of interest earlier this year, city bus operator Bhopal city link limited (BCLL) is anticipating a rollout during the current fiscal.
Most transport operators in main cities already have smart cards to make payments. We are looking at integration of all into one. One card to pay for bus, metro and the same card can work nationally, said BCLL and Bhopalsmart citydevelopment corporation limited (BSCDCL) CEO, Gourav Benal.
This week, top five players have expressed their interest. Each made an hour-long presentation. BCLL would move ahead with the tendering and implementation stage, he added.
