One Nation One Card:- India's indigenously-developed National Common Mobility Card (NCMC).
The inter-operable transport card would allow holders to pay for their bus travels, toll taxes, parking charges, retail shopping and withdraw cash.
Public Transport is extensively used across India as the convenient mode of commuting for all classes of society. Cash continues to be the most preferred mode of fare across public transport.
Cash Problems
However, there are multiple challenges associated with the cash payment e.g cash handling, revenue leakages, cash reconciliation etc. Various initiatives have been taken by transit operators to automatic & digitize the fare collection using AUTOMATIC FARE COLLECTION SYSTEM (AFC)
The introduction of closed-loop cards issue by these operators helped to digitized the fare collection to a significant extent. However, the restricted usability of these payment instruments limits the digital adoption by customers.
An automatic fare collection system
The major challenge associated with AFC System implementation in India till now is the lack of indigenous solution provider.
Till now the AFC system deployed at various Metros is from the foreign company. In order to avoid the vendor lock-in and create an interoperable system, there was a need to develop indigenous standards and AFC system under MAKE IN INDIA initiative. In India, we have no pan India card which allows using at all different type of transportation fare. Indian government to fill this vacuum by introducing ONE NATION ONE CARD.
