Hubballi: Authority of Hubballi-Dharwad Bus Transit Rapid (HDBTS) Mulling to introduce QR-based digital money transactions other than current services from lack of contact transactions.
Already discussed with leading agencies related to digital transactions held and working on the implementation of cash transactions based on QR at all HDBRTS bus stops.
After the pandemic hit the nation, commuting has demanded transactions without cash and digital.
As a result, the authorities are now working on the implementation of the digital payment system.
Ganesh Rathod, Deputy General Manager, HDBRTS, said that beforehand we were thinking of promoting without cash, contact fewer transactions that are now very often done by people, now we plan to bring QR-based transactions in addition to contacts transactions less than contacts.
“In a few weeks QR-based cash transaction systems will be introduced at all HDBTS bus stops to minimize cash-based transactions and encourage people to pay through e-wallets, such as Google salary or phonepe.
QR code will be included in the bus where people can pay “He added.
Ashwini, a bank employee from Keshwapur said, we claimed that HDBRTS had advanced features and services, but it was very unfortunate that in the ticket counter there was still no digital payment system.
“I recently faced difficulties getting tickets for Dharwad from the Hubballi train station, because of the lack of adequate change to buy tickets.
Then I asked for a digital system, the staff sitting at the counter said that they did not have digital payments.
The system”, he added .
The staff at the HDBRTS table, said most commuters came for tickets with Rs 500, 200, but due to lack of change, we could not provide tickets.
If the cash transaction based on QR is implemented at the bus stop, it will be easier for the public to get tickets, he said.
