One Nation One Card: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Common Mobility Card on Monday after the inauguration of the Ahmedabad Metro.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) dubbed as One Nation One Card. The indigenously-developed card will enable users to pay for multiple kinds of charges including transport, metro services, toll tax, parking charges, retail shopping as well as to withdraw money across the country. In short, it is a one-stop card for multiple utilities. PM Modi who was in Ahmedabad to inaugurate the city's new metro train service, launched the NCMC at the same event.
"This card runs on RuPay card and it will eliminate all your travel related problems. Many a times, we do not have change to pay in cash while travelling in metro, bus or train, or for toll and parking. To overcome this issue, an automatic fare collection system was introduced," PM Modi said, further adding, "Since systems were made by different players, a card issued in one city did not work in another city. Thus, we asked various ministries, departments and even banks to resolve this issue."
