PAN CITY SMART & SAFE MOBILITY SOLUTION: Smart bus public information systems; GPS based intra-city e-Bus tracking system; Integrated smart card based fare system for e-Buses, HIDCO operated buses and Auto/ ToTos; Planned intermodal integration by inter-linked design of the upcoming Metro stations and Bus stands, Auto Stands and Toto Stands

The above mentioned solutions will be assisted by Pan City support infrastructure including:
