The recent integration of BMRCL Yellow Line further enhances the travel experience for lakhs of daily commuters.
Bengaluru, 01 October 2025: National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), in collaboration with Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and RBL Bank, has announced the integration of RuPay On-The-Go cards on all Bengaluru Metro Lines. This marks a significant step forward in expanding the National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) program in Karnataka’s capital. Commuters can now tap their NCMC compliant RuPay On-The-Go cards to travel on the newly launched Yellow Line, making daily transit faster, easier, and seamless.
The RBL Bank BMRCL co-branded RuPay On-The-Go cards can be swiftly and easily availed from Ticket Office Machine (TOM) counters present at 83 BMRCL stations across three lines, including the Yellow Line connecting RV Road to Bommasandra. The integration serves lakhs of daily commuters by eliminating the need to purchase separate tickets or carry multiple cards, providing a seamless experience to officegoers, students, and travellers alike.
Commuters can top-up their RuPay On-The-Go cards via Cash, UPI, or any Debit, Credit or Prepaid card accepted at the TOM counters. Additionally, the card features a QR on the back, which can be scanned using BHIM, Google Pay, PhonePe or any other UPI applications to top-up the card seamlessly. Customers can also login into RBL Bank provided app for managing and loading their RuPay On-The-Go cards.
RuPay On-The-Go supports offline functionality as well, allowing for transactions even in low connectivity zones. It also facilitates stored value travel, enabling passengers to load balances and use the same card for recurring journeys.
Sohini Rajola, Executive Director – Growth, NPCI said, “With the integration of the RuPay On-The-Go card across Metro lines, Bengaluru is taking a significant step towards a smarter, more efficient urban mobility ecosystem. We are happy to partner with BMRCL and RBL Bank in expanding the RuPay On-The-Go ecosystem in Bengaluru to enable commuters to experience a truly digital, contactless, and seamless mode of transit.”
Ravi Pichan, Chief Information Officer & Head – Digital Banking at RBL Bank said “At RBL Bank, we are committed to delivering innovative and convenient digital payment solutions that make everyday transactions easier. Our partnership with NPCI and BMRCL to enable RuPay On-The-Go on Bengaluru Metro’s Yellow Line reflects our focus on enhancing customer experience while supporting the expansion of smart mobility solutions across India. This initiative aligns perfectly with our vision towards providing new age frictionless digital solutions that transforms the travel experience of daily commuters.”
Besides Bengaluru, RuPay On-The-Go cards are accepted across a growing network of transit systems, including metro services in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Kanpur, as well as bus networks in Mumbai, Guwahati, Haryana, Jammu, Srinagar, Agra, Himachal Pradesh, and Aurangabad.
