India is moving towards cash-less era and going digital all over by introducing Wallet and UPI system. Paying or buying products online is easier than ever. In this state of convenience, a new step is initiated by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi called ‘One Nation One Card’. People use different types of public transport be it be Metro, Bus or Train. Public transport has a different card or a different subscription. This One Nation One Card will solve your problem once for all.
This not only is a transport card but also would allow the holders to pay for their toll taxes, parking charges, retail shopping and even withdraw money. This card runs on the RuPay card and will eliminate all your travel-related problems. Many times, we do not have the change to pay in cash while traveling in metro, bus, train or for the toll, during this time the card will be handy.

Future of One Nation One Card
Public transportation forms an important part of India. Recently by a report, 80% of people in cities would prefer using public transport rather than their vehicles. The study data also reveals that Chennai has the highest number of people using public transportation while the lowest number is in Mumbai. Till date, people had to purchase different subscriptions, cards, and tickets for different modes of public transport. Further, a transport card of one state did not apply to other states. By introducing this card it will surely ease people who use public transport daily. This number will be growing in the coming years.
