This initiative marks a significant step towards streamlining ticket purchases and reducing cash-related transactions aboard public transportation.The introduction of UPI-based ticket payments is poised to revolutionize the way passengers interact with the state’s bus services. With the option to pay for tickets through UPI, commuters will experience smoother transactions and reduced reliance on physical currency. Equipped with QR code-enabled ticket printing machines, conductors will facilitate seamless payments directly from passengers’ mobile devices.
Currently undergoing a trial phase in Chennai city buses, this innovative payment method is slated for expansion across key regions including Trichy, Salem, Madurai, Nellai, and Coimbatore.
