Goodbye Tokens! Punjab Launches New ‘T-Card’ for Metrobus and Orange Line

The Punjab government has officially rolled out the brand-new T-Card, a single, electronic payment solution for both the Metrobus and the Orange Line. This innovative card is designed to make public transport easier and faster for everyone.

According to the Punjab Mass Transit Authority (PMA), this new T-Card is a smart payment method that will work across all of the province’s major transit systems. This is a key part of the government’s e-Transit program, which aims to bring public services into the digital age and make commuting much more convenient.

From now on, travelers can use just one card to get on both the Metrobus and the Orange Line trains, which means no more fumbling with separate tokens or RFID cards. This simple change is expected to drastically cut down on long lines and waiting times at ticket counters, saving commuters a lot of frustration.

Getting your hands on a T-Card is very easy. You can sign up on the e-Transit Punjab website, through their official mobile app, or by calling the helpline at 1762, where helpful staff are ready to walk you through the process.

Officials from the Transport Department have confirmed that the old token system will be slowly removed, with public awareness campaigns planned to help everyone get used to the new method. The government is strongly encouraging all commuters to switch over to the new T-Card as soon as possible to ensure a smooth journey every time.
