The Challenge: Fare Collection Complexity 

Lucknow Metro, the backbone of urban transit in Uttar Pradesh’s capital, has been a game-changer for commuters. As the network expanded and ridership soared, the existing fare collection system struggled to keep pace.

Long queues at ticket counters, delays in transactions, and inefficiencies in fare reconciliation were becoming major bottlenecks. The challenge wasn’t just about speed; it was about ensuring a seamless, cashless, and hassle-free experience for millions of daily commuters while maintaining operational efficiency.

To sustain its commitment to world-class urban mobility, Lucknow Metro needed an advanced Automated Fare Collection (AFC) solution that could streamline ticketing, reduce human intervention, and improve revenue management.

The Solution: Automated Fare Collection 

Lucknow Metro joined hands with Datamatics and implemented TruFare, an intelligent Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system designed for efficiency and convenience. With TruFare, ticketing became seamless, offering passengers multiple payment options—contactless smart cards, QR code-based digital payments, and mobile ticketing.

No more long queues, no more transaction delays—just a tap, scan, or click to access the metro. The real-time analytics and automated reconciliation features empowered authorities with better revenue tracking, reducing errors and ensuring transparency.

Best of all, TruFare was integrated without disrupting metro services, making the transition smooth for both passengers and operators.
