On the other hand, previously, the Punjab T-Cash Card was introduced, a smart new way to pay.
What is the Punjab T-Cash Card?
The Punjab T-Cash Card is a contactless card that lets you pay for transport and shopping without cash. Think of it as your all in one payment buddy. You load money onto it, then tap and go.
The Punjab government launched this card under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. It is a key part of the Vision Transport 2030 programme. The goal is simple. The government wants to build a modern, cashless public transport system in Pakistan.
This card is more than just a metro pass. It works as a multi purpose payment tool. You can use it for daily travel and for buying goods at selected stores. One card. Many uses. Pretty handy, right?
