The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) will launch a National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) in January 2022 to enable commuters to pay for their multiple modes of transport. According to a report published in The Times of India (TOI), customers can use the card to pay for metro rail, MTC bus, suburban rail and parking services when they introduce this ticketing service. They can also use it for shopping and dining purposes at metro stations and also in shops at the bus terminals and stations which can accept them.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs developed the idea of NCMC in 2019 to enable seamless travel by metro rail, MTC and other transport systems, along with providing shopping and banking transactions to people.
