T-Cash Card Update
T-Cash Card has quickly become Punjab’s most important smart fare system, especially for commuters using Lahore Metro Bus, EV buses, and other mass transit services operated by the Punjab Mass Transit Authority (PMA). Recently, many travelers have been confused about “new charges” and an apparent price increase. To settle this confusion, PMA has officially clarified all details.
Here is a complete 2025 update covering official price, delivery fees, online charges, and the full list of cities where the T-Cash Card now works.
What Exactly Is the T-Cash Card?
The T-Cash Card is a digital transport card designed to make public travel smoother across Punjab. Instead of buying tokens or paying cash, commuters can simply tap their smart card and board buses instantly.
PMA introduced this modern system to support:
- Digital ticketing
- Faster entry and exit
- Reduced crowding at stations
- Integration with EV buses and future transit systems
It is part of Punjab’s wider goal to promote smart mobility and efficient mass transit services.
Official T-Cash Card Price – Confirmed by PMA
One of the biggest questions passengers asked:
“Has the price increased?”
PMA has clearly confirmed:
✔ Official T-Cash Card Price: Rs. 130 (No Increase)
There are no new taxes, no hidden charges, and no price hike from the government or the Transport Department. The confusion only came from the additional service charges applied during online ordering.
New Charges & Delivery Fees – Full Breakdown
When commuters order the T-Cash Card online, the total payment increases due to delivery and platform charges, not because of the card price itself.
Here is the complete cost structure:
| Service Type | Cost (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Official T-Cash Card Price | 130 |
| TCS Home Delivery Fee | 130 |
| Online Platform Charges | 15 |
| Total (Online Order) | 275 |
So the extra amount you pay is simply:
- TCS courier service
- Platform processing fee
These are not government-imposed charges and do not affect the original Rs.130 card cost.

Why PMA Switched to Online Ordering Only
Earlier, commuters could get the T-Cash Card directly from metro stations. However, PMA discontinued that because:
- Passenger traffic increased in newly added cities
- Queues became difficult to manage
- A digital system ensures better record-keeping
- Home delivery avoids delays and mismanagement
- Cards can be registered and activated more efficiently
This shift is part of PMA’s long-term plan to adopt centralized smart ticketing across Punjab.
T-Cash Card for EV Buses – A Major Upgrade
Punjab’s new Electric Vehicle (EV) buses are a game-changer. The T-Cash Card is fully compatible with these eco-friendly buses, which are now running in several cities.
Benefits on EV buses include:
- Contactless and fast boarding
- Accurate fare deduction
- No need for cash
- Use the same card in multiple cities
- Unified smart mobility experience
