<p>Commuters will simply have to flash a smart card in front of an e-validator while entering and exiting, and the appropriate amount will be deducted from the card</p>

Soon, you may be able to travel on a bus with a flash of a single card and without having to worry about quarrelling with the conductor for change. That is, if the BEST has its way. The undertaking is testing an RFID card system inside buses, wherein commuters can flash their cards and have the ticket amount deducted automatically.

BEST is testing the e-validators in an AC bus, and hopes the system will be put to use when closed-door buses eventually become a norm in the city. File pic
