Zindigi to Transform Karachi's Mass Transit with Tap-to-Pay Technology
Zindigi, a joint venture between JS Bank and Mastercard, is set to transform Karachi's mass transit system with its tap-to-pay technology. The system will use prepaid, open-loop contactless cards that can be used to pay for bus fares. This will eliminate the need for physical tickets and reduce wait times at ticket counters. Zindigi's goal is to make public transportation more accessible, convenient, and financially inclusive for Karachi's citizens.
