Punjab Government Launches T-Card for Metrobus and Orange Line: One Card, Seamless Travel
Lahore: In a major step towards digital transformation, the Punjab government has introduced the T-Card, a unified, cashless travel card designed for Metrobus and Orange Line train services.
Launched by the Punjab Mass Transit Authority (PMA), the T-Card aims to simplify travel across the province’s public transport system. This initiative is part of the broader e-Transit program, focused on enhancing commuter convenience and digitizing public services.
One Card, Multiple Benefits
With the new T-Card, passengers can now travel on both Metrobus and Orange Line trains using a single smart card. This eliminates the need for separate tokens or RFID cards, reducing waiting times and long queues at ticket counters.
Easy Application Process
Getting a T-Card is quick and simple. Commuters can:
-
Apply via the official e-Transit Punjab website
-
Use the e-Transit mobile app
-
Call the helpline at 1762, where support agents are available to assist
The user-friendly process ensures that anyone can sign up and start using the new system without hassle.
Token System to Be Phased Out
According to the Transport Department, the traditional token system will be gradually discontinued. To support this shift, the government is planning awareness campaigns across major urban centers. Commuters are encouraged to adopt the T-Card early to avoid future service disruptions.
A Step Towards Smarter Transit
The T-Card reflects the Punjab government’s commitment to modernizing public transport, making daily commutes faster, smarter, and more efficient. With further expansions expected, this smart solution is set to become the future of travel in Punjab.
