Speaking at the launch, Shravan Hardikar, Managing Director of Maha-Metro, said, “This is the first time a non-KYC transferable travel card is being introduced in India, which is a matter of pride for Pune residents. Over 75% of Pune Metro tickets are already purchased digitally, the highest in India.”
The ‘Ek Pune Transit Card’ will have a validity of five years, or as stated on the card. It costs ₹100 + 18% GST (₹118) to purchase, with a maximum top-up limit of ₹3000 at a time. Commuters will receive a 10% discount on weekdays and a 30% discount on weekends. This card is transferable, non-refundable, and can be used across all transport services operating on the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) system in the country.
Pune Metro already offers the 'Ek Pune Card' and ‘Vidyarthi Pass Card’ for students, which have seen wide adoption. So far, 46,659 ‘Ek Pune Cards’ and 15,865 ‘Vidyarthi Pass Cards’ have been sold.
