NCRTC Trip Pass: Trip pass introduced for Namo Bharat; no more hassle of repeatedly recharging your wallet..
If you travel daily on the Namo Bharat (RRTS) train, there is good news for you. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has launched a 'Trip Pass' for regular commuters. This pass will not only save you time but also offer a 10% discount on fares. Based on the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC), this trip pass can be purchased for travel between two specific stations on a fixed route. Approximately 1.1 lakh passengers travel on Namo Bharat trains daily, with a significant number commuting regularly between specific stations. This pass has been introduced for the convenience of these very passengers.
For instance, if you commute daily between Sahibabad and Muradnagar, you can purchase an advance pass covering anywhere from 1 to 40 trips. Whenever you tap your card at the station's AFC (Automatic Fare Collection) gate, one trip will be automatically deducted from your pass instead of money being debited from your wallet. The best part is that you can use this pass for multiple round trips within a single day.
Who benefits from the Namo Bharat Trip Pass?
This pass is beneficial for anyone who travels on a fixed route daily or several times a week. Many employees commute between Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut using Namo Bharat trains in the mornings and evenings. It is also highly useful for students who commute daily. Additionally, the Namo Bharat Trip Pass is very convenient for businesspeople traveling on the Delhi-Meerut route.
How does it eliminate the hassle of frequent wallet recharges?
The global wallet of the NCMC card has a maximum load limit of ₹2,000. This means that the balance for daily commuters tends to run out very quickly. They require frequent recharging. With the introduction of the Trip Pass, you will no longer need to repeatedly top up your wallet; you can pay for 40 trips in a single transaction.
**How the Trip Pass Saves You Money**
Under the loyalty program, you earn 1 loyalty point for every ₹1 spent on Namo Bharat. This effectively translates to a direct 10% saving on your travel. Once you accumulate 300 loyalty points on your card, you can redeem them for one free ride. The Namo Bharat Trip Pass is available for both Standard and Premium coaches.
**How to Get the Namo Bharat Trip Pass?**
You do not need to purchase a new card for the Trip Pass. You can activate the pass on your existing NCMC card by visiting the Access Control/Customer Service Counter (EFO) located near the AFC gates at any Namo Bharat station. Apart from the station counter (EFO), you can also easily recharge or top up the pass using the Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) installed at the station.
