Telangana to Launch Common Card for Hyderabad Metro and TGSRTC Soon!

Hyderabad: The Telangana government is set to introduce a Common Mobility Card under the Telangana Mobility as a Service (T-MaaS) initiative, aiming to provide seamless travel across Hyderabad Metro and Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) services. This initiative will allow passengers to use a single card for both metro and bus journeys, streamlining public transport accessibility.

To facilitate the transition, TGSRTC is conducting trials by testing tap machines on select buses. These machines will enable passengers to simply tap their mobility cards while boarding, eliminating the need for paper tickets and reducing transaction time. Meanwhile, Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) is already equipped with ticket scanners capable of supporting the common mobility card.
