Step 1: Get an NCMC Card
Getting an NCMC card is the first step towards convenient metro travel. You can obtain this card from your bank or any authorized issuer. All you need is a savings account with a partner bank. Once you apply for the card, it will be linked to your bank account.
Step 2: Link Your Metro Smart Card
If you already have a metro smart card, you can link it to your NCMC card. This step ensures that the balance from your smart card is accessible through your NCMC card. It's a one-time process and can usually be done at the metro station's customer service center.
Step 3: Recharge Your NCMC Card
Just like your regular metro smart card, you need to keep your NCMC card loaded with sufficient funds. You can recharge it online, through mobile apps, or at metro stations. Some banks even offer an auto-recharge option, so you never run out of travel credit.
Step 4: Tap and Travel
Now comes the fun part – using your NCMC card. When you reach the metro station, simply tap your NCMC card on the designated reader at the entry gate. The fare for your journey will be automatically deducted from your card balance. No more hunting for coins or standing in long ticket queues.
Step 5: Enjoy the Benefits
Using NCMC for metro travel offers several advantages:
