Soon, travelers in Delhi will enjoy the convenience of using a single card for both bus tickets and metro rides as part of the Delhi government’s efforts to integrate their system with the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC).

In the future, additional transit options will be seamlessly incorporated to enhance convenience further. The transport department will make NCMC-compliant cards available to the public.

This initiative goes beyond simply electronically integrating the public transport payment system; it also serves as a step towards digitalisation and the potential unification of various transit operators on a single platform in the future.

The initial phase of the project will involve deploying electronic ticketing machines (ETMs) for 7,500 buses and offering smart NCMC cards for ticket purchases. The ultimate goal is to enable NCMC cards for offline payments across multiple transit modes. 

Once completed, this integrated platform will seamlessly connect various forms of transportation, including buses and the metro, and may eventually expand to include autos and cabs, providing commuters with a more convenient travel experience. 

Moreover, the ETMs will also issue pink tickets, allowing women to travel for free. Delhi’s extensive bus network, consisting of 7,000 DTC and DIMTS buses, serves an average of 3.3 million passengers daily, making it the most widely used form of public transportation in the city. 

The introduction of digital ticketing aligns with the route rationalisation study conducted by the transport department, providing valuable insights into the precise number of people travelling on specific routes at any given time.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
