One Karnataka Smart Card Launched for KSRTC and BNTC Buses to End Cash Payments
The Karnataka government has introduced the One Karnataka Smart Card digital ticketing system across all major routes of KSRTC and BNTC, eliminating the need for cash transactions.
The Karnataka government has rolled out a fully operational digital ticketing system called One Karnataka Smart Card for passengers of KSRTC and BNTC, aiming to remove cash hassles.
The smart card will be accepted on all premier routes, allowing commuters to tap and travel without buying paper tickets. The system integrates with existing bus fleets and supports online recharging.
Officials say the move will streamline fare collection, reduce queuing, and improve transparency, aligning with the state's broader push for digital services.
The rollout is being implemented jointly by KSRTC and BNTC, with cards available at designated outlets and via mobile apps. Passengers can load credit and use the card across the network.
The initiative is expected to benefit daily commuters in Karnataka, particularly in Bangalore, by offering a faster, contactless payment option.
