One Pune Metro Card has been there for a long time for use on MahaMetro network in Pune. However, with the launch of Puneri Metro, operating Pune Metro Line 3 from Maan-Hinjawadi to District Court, the relevance of One Pune Metro Card has increased further for Punekars.
Puneri Metro is currently offering the non-KYC One Pune Metro Card absolutely free of charge and this card works on both MahaMetro and PMRDA metro networks.
It offers the convenience of having to carry only one card that is accepted at all metro lines operating in Pune.
All you have to do is to scan the card at the AFC gate of any line and board the desired metro train. Rescan the card while exiting the traveled network and the fare amount is automatically deducted from your card balance, after calculating any discounts currently prevailing. (Pune News)
This makes transition from one metro network to another seamless, without having to buy separate tickets or passes for different lines and networks.
For example, lets say you have to travel from Hinjawadi to Pune Railway Station. When you reach any station, say, Hinjawadi Phase 1 station, scan the card at the AFC gate and board the train. After reaching District Court Station, scan the card at the exit and take the Foot Over Bridge (FOB) to MahaMetro District Court Station. There scan the card again at AFC gate and board the Ramwadi-bound metro train. After two stops, get down at Pune Railway Station Metro Station and scan the card again at the exit.
Thats it! Its so simple. Same applies for the return journey and any journey requiring travel across different networks of Pune Metro.
The card is available at all Puneri Metro stations and can be activated with a simple OTP on your mobile. The balance can be topped with using UPI.
From time to time, you can update the balance in the card using card reader machines installed at all Puneri Metro and Pune Metro stations. Currently, this card is being offered free of cost.
This is a National Mobility (NCMC) RuPayCard, offered by jointly by SBI and Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited (PITCMRL), and you can top and check transactions history on prepaid.sbi.bank.in.
You can enjoy hassle-free travel at all NCMC enabled services such as metros, buses, ferries and parking services across the country. (Pune News)
