And in Jaipur city, a consortium led by Efkon has been selected by UTI Infrastructure Technology & Services as a solution provider to install automatic fare collection systems as a part of its common mobility card (CMC) programme run under the Ministry of Urban Transport. As a first step, Efkon in consortium with other companies will provide a complete automatic fare collection solution to Jaipur City Transport buses covering both cash and smart card based payment mechanisms.
