@ Lewin..this automated fare collection system includes a smart card-based ticketing platform. This platform card could be used for other modes of public transport. It can also be used for parking and shopping under the clearinghouse concept. Thus Hyderabad city would be first in India to have this futuristic and common system for all modes of transport with a single smart card.
