NCRTC Launches Trip Pass for Namo Bharat Commuters to Buy Up to 40 Trips in Advance
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has introduced a Trip Pass facility for Namo Bharat commuters using the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC). This pass allows regular travelers to purchase up to 40 trips in advance between fixed stations, simplifying daily commutes by automatically deducting fares for each trip. Passes vary in validity from 15 to 90 days depending on the number of trips, and can be used multiple times per day on the specified route. Refund policies differ by pass type, and normal fares apply for travel beyond the pass route.
