BMRCL ups its Smart Card game

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL), which runs Namma Metro, is going full throttle on peddling its Smart Cards. To get more people to buy these cards, it has now cut down on ticket counters, using other counters to sell Smart Cards instead. It has restricted issuing tokens to a single counter despite having two or three counters. Earlier, tokens used to be issued at all counters, depending on the footfall and there was no open marketing of smart cards at ticket counters.
