In a smart move by Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited (KTCL), e-buses on three routes in Panaji, Goa will no longer have conductors onboard. The decision aims to promote contactless transactions and reduce physical interactions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Passengers will now have to use digital payment methods or smart cards to pay for their fares. The three routes where this initiative will be implemented are Ribandar, Old Goa, and Bambolim. KTCL has taken this step to ensure the safety of passengers and staff while also modernizing their services. This move aligns with the government’s efforts to promote digital transactions and reduce the usage of cash. The e-buses are equipped with modern amenities and are environmentally friendly, contributing to a greener public transportation system. By eliminating conductors onboard these routes, KTCL is not only adapting to the new normal but also setting a precedent for other transport services to follow suit. This initiative is expected to streamline the boarding process, reduce delays, and ensure a more efficient commute for passengers in Panaji. Passengers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new payment methods to avoid any inconvenience while traveling on these routes. The shift towards contactless transactions is a positive step towards enhancing the overall public transportation experience in Goa.
