The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha-Metro) ne ek naye “One Pune Card” ko introduce kiya hai, jo metro yatra ke liye ek travel pass ke roop mein kaam karega aur bharat bhar mein shopping ke liye payment ka ek vikalp bhi hoga. Card ko Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari ne launch kiya, jisme Maharashtra ke Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar aur Devendra Fadnavis, Maha-Metro ke Managing Director Shravan Hardikar, aur anya adhikariyon ne bhi hissa liya.
“One Pune Card” metro par safar karne ko asaan banane ke liye design ki gayi hai. Yeh Bharat mein National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) ke niyamon ka palan karti hai, iska matlab hai ki yeh dusre metro aur bus services mein bhi poore desh mein istemal kiya ja sakta hai. Ek bade bank ke saath milkar, yeh card yatra aur bhugtan dono ke liye suvidhajanak features pradan karta hai. Shuruaati 5,000 yatri card muft mein prapt karenge, jabki anya logon ko ₹150 plus 18% tax dena hoga.
Fadnavis ne is baat par zor diya ki yeh card metro yatriyon ko bina har baar ticket khareedne ke bina safar karne ki anumati dega. Unhone Pune ke transport adhikariyon ko agah kiya ki bhavishya mein is card ko sabhi prakar ke public transport ke liye vichar karna chahiye.
Aap metro stations par card prapt kar sakte hain. Yeh Bharatiya Payments (RuPay) system ki tarah kaam karta hai aur NCMC ke liye Bharatiya sarkar ke nirdeshon ka palan karta hai. ₹5,000 tak ke khareedari ke liye aapko PIN ki zaroorat nahi hogi. Maha-Metro ke Hemant Sonawane ne samjhaya ki card prapt karne ke liye yatriyon ko Pune Metro ki website par di gayi online form bharna chahiye ya use metro stations par prapt kar sakte hain. Isi ke saath, Pune Metro sabhi Pune card holders ko 10% ki ticket chhoot pradan karta hai.
