Launched for Bengaluru’s Electronics City tech professionals, the Orbit Wallet RuPay prepaid card offers seamless tap-and-go payment for metro rides, BMTC buses, and digital transactions. It incentivizes eco-friendly commuting with rewards, promising convenience, security, and integration across multiple transit and retail channels.
Bengaluru’s tech corridor received a new mobility boost with the launch of the Orbit Wallet RuPay prepaid card, designed especially for employees in Electronics City. This innovative payment solution, part of the STAMP (Station Access and Mobility Program), encourages commuters to shift from private vehicles to public transportation like the Namma Metro and BMTC buses.
The Orbit Wallet is a National Common Mobility Card (NCMC)-compliant smart card allowing users to pay for metro rides, bus travel, shopping, fuel, and parking using a single card. Currently active for metro payments, it will soon integrate BMTC bus services as well.
Users enjoy incentives worth ₹1,500 on switching to metro travel, making the card an attractive choice for daily commuters. The system also helps employers transition fuel and parking reimbursements to support sustainable commuting.
Backed by Electronics City Industries Association, Toyota Mobility Foundation, World Resources Institute India, Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited, and BMTC, Orbit Wallet’s launch is a step toward greener, smarter urban mobility.
