The Indian railway is planning to launch ‘smart card’ for rail users in association with State Bank of India.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee at the economic editors' conference said, "We are negotiating with SBI for issuing smart card for rail passengers."
The card will be a multiple purpose one which can be used in metro, suburban and passenger trains. The card can be also used for e-ticketing.
A railway official said, "The modalities are being worked out for the smart card which will be the first of its kind by the railways. We are in discussion with other stakeholders to make it a composite all-purpose card."
Ms Banergee also said, "Every suburban train will have toilet for which test has been carried out already. There will also be facilities for handicapped passengers."
