Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government has now launched a common mobility card which can be used by people for travelling in metro trains, Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses and clulster buses.

New Delhi: Government transport option in the national capital is going to be smoother as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government has now launched a common mobility card which can be used by people for travelling in metro trains, Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses and clulster buses. The state transport minister Kailash Gehlot on Monday launched a new common mobility card titled as ‘One’ at the Rajghat cluster bus depot. While launching the all-purpose travel card, Gehlot also said that soon the government will also launch an app through which commuters can plan multi-road trips, including metros and buses in the city. The scheme was launched in August this year, but till now people were using only metro card in the government run buses. State transport minister along with DTC Managing Director Mangu Singh launched the ‘rebranded’ common mobility card ONE. With a tagline of ‘One Delhi, One Ride’, the card has a background of cubic grid in bright shades of red and yellow. It has a circular unit with sketches of metro trains, DTC buses, auto rickshaws and monuments of the city. Soon after launching the common travel card, Gehlot said, “The Delhi government is committed to providing people a seamless, high-quality travel experience of city’s public transport system.” The card will be available for sale on all metro stations and DTC pass counters from today (December 4). The process of recharging these cards at metro stations will also remain the same with Rs 200 as the minimum recharge value and Rs 50 as the security fee on the card, an official from the transport department said, adding that only the basic design has been changed. Further speaking to media after the launch of the card, Gehlot said, “The commuters should be able to travel from home to office on a single card and hence, we are considering coverage of auto-rickshaws, taxis, RTVs and other modes of transport under this card.” Gahlot said that initially the card had some issues with the Electronic Ticketing Machines (ETMs) in DTC buses and hence, we were unable to roll it out early but after regular meetings and discussions, we have overcome those issues.
