Episode 5 is about Integrated digital fare collection for formal and informal public transit For a safe trip: swipe, tap, or transfer. COVID-19 has made digital contactless payments a necessity. Seamless e-ticketing can not only transform the user experience in public transport but also integrate informal transit services like shared autos/taxis, e-rickshaws and private minibuses, that serve the bulk of public transport trips in Indian cities.
