L&T Metro
launched the TSaavari App in November 2017. Tsavaari is the Official App of
Hyderabad Metro Rail.
Tsavaari App is
still work in progress. The major updation in the last few months is the
ability to recharge Hyderabad Metro Smart Cards directly from TSaavari App. This
has enabled a large number of Hyderabad Metro travellers to download TSaavari
App and top up their Hyderabad Smart Card.
Paytm is the Payment
Gateway integrator for TSaavari. Tsaavari App users can recharge their
Hyderabad Metro Smart Cards via Netbanking, Credit Card, Debit Card, Paytm
Wallet and BHIM UPI.
As on date,
TWallet is not integrated with TSaavari. There may be commercial compulsions for
L&T Metro to tie-up with Paytm, but it would be wonderful if TWallet is
also integrated with TSaavari.
This will be a
win-win option Hyderabad Metro travellers.
This article on
future plans of TWallet i.e T-Wallet to
bail out cash-strapped persons
will attract new users to TWallet.
The icing on the cake will be
integration of TSaavari and TWallet.
