Basic Information
Paycardo aims to build a true contactless, fast and secure payment solution in buses across India by providing smart cards to the daily bus commuters. The card would be coupled to a smart POS provided to the bus conductors to offer a hassle-free ticketing solution. This would lessen the need for mandatory cash payment in public buses and would also lessen the risk of germs and virus spread through cash. It would be a smartphone and Internet independent closed-loop prepaid smart card solution for commuters. They are also developing a one-stop trip management app with live bus tracking and estimating the crowd status in the bus. Overall, they have a pre-paid card and an app as the end product for the commuters while cloud-enabled infrastructure and dashboard provision for the travel partners/agencies.
