Your benefits
Multiple payment methods
Open-loop systems enable payers to use a single account with multiple payment methods - bank card, Digital ID, eWallet,dynamically generated QR code, or co-branded and contactless cards using Mastercard, Visa, UPI or any local networks.
These methods of payment are all accepted across multiple merchants and transport operators, making it possible for anyone to use public transport without needing to queue to purchase a ticket.
