Malpractice in any form is not accepted and severe punishment must be given to those who indulge in these types of malpractices.
Recently four workers belonging to Metropolitan Transport Corporation or MTC were involved in selling of fake Rs 1000 Travel as you please tickets or TAYP monthly tickets. It must be noted that these four people were arrested later.
The news that MTC is planning to introduce unique security codes 3D holographic or QR has grabbed the attention of many and this is spoken in high esteem by many.
According to a senior official, in order to improve the authenticity of the monthly tickets, a 3-D holographic code or QR code or barcode would be introduced in the plastic card. Bus conductors carrying electronic ticket machines or ETM would have scanner or reader fitted to these machines. It is now confirmed that the printing of fake ID cards plus bus passes would not be possible with this code.
It is important to note that presently MTC issues a multi-colour paper card for Rs 1000 TAYP tickets plus an ID card for the travellers. Unique ID number as well as the photograph of the individual is displayed and at the time of renewal ID card number would be written on the TAYP tickets.
