Travel Touch card used in Colombo City



Travel Touch card introduce to Sri lanka in 2013 December.Last month i brought a travel card from promotion campaign in borella area.
It cost Rs 200 and it contains value of Rs. 200.you can topped this card in any shop which can reloads to  mobile phones.

Now it is famous among the private buses in colombo city.CTB government buses do not support this feature.

Once you given this card to conductor,he will touch it on his machine.Then it will generate the bus ticket.

It's a good solution for bus service.Because handing money in a bus is difficult.Nowadays most conductors has a less exchangable money.Most of them do not have Rs 1,Rs 2 ,Rs 5 coins.So this card is a suitable solution for handling coins issue on a bus.

Most of the countries now used this system in their bus service.But it's a new experience for Lankans.This system implemented by Dialog,famous mobile service provider in Sri Lanka.
