From now on, senior citizens in Haryana will not get a 50% discount on Haryana Roadways bus tickets just by showing their senior citizen ID. Instead, they must carry an NCMC card.

• The Haryana Transport Department is promoting a cashless ticketing system.

• The Senior Citizen ID cards are now obsolete for fare discounts.
