It is here! The National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) — on the lines of London's Oyster card, but at a national level, to be used on trains and all public transport modes is currently under trial at BEST's Wadala and Colaba depots in Mumbai.

BEST buses are set to become the first public transportation in India to roll out the NCMC. As per initial plans, more than 10,000 BEST conductors will be given the hand-held devices which can scan the NCMC cards with just one tap, alongside generating paper tickets.
