Punjab’s public transport system offers commuters a convenient way to manage their travel payments through the T-Cash Card. The rechargeable smart card allows users to pay fares across multiple public transport services without carrying cash or purchasing separate tickets.
Where Can the T-Cash Card Be Used?
The card can be used on several intra-city transport services across Punjab, including Metro Buses, Orange Line Trains, Speedo Buses and Electro Buses. It is designed to provide a single payment option for different modes of public transport.
Users can add money to the card and use the available balance to pay their fares during their journeys.
Who Is Eligible to Apply?
Anyone who uses public transport in Punjab can apply for a T-Cash Card. Applicants must complete verification through NADRA and meet the relevant requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan.
These requirements are intended to support secure card issuance and financial transactions.
How Can Citizens Apply?
Citizens have several options to submit their applications. They can apply through the official T-Cash web portal or mobile application.
Those who need assistance can also call the T-Cash helpline at 1762, where a customer service representative can help them complete the application process.
What Is the Card Fee?
The standard issuance fee for a T-Cash Card is PKR 130. Users can then recharge the card according to their travel and payment needs.
Where Is the Card Collected?
During the application process, applicants can choose a designated station for card collection. Once the card reaches the selected station, it will remain available for pickup for 10 days.
If the card is not collected within this period, it may be returned or require reprocessing.
Can the Card Be Used for Banking?
The T-Cash Card also offers functionality beyond public transport. It works as a debit card and can be used for everyday financial transactions, giving users a combined transport and banking payment option.
How Can Applicants Track Their Card?
Applicants can check the progress of their T-Cash Card application through the official web portal or mobile application. They can also call 1762 to speak with a customer service representative and get an update on their card status.
