MTCC has decided to conduct a trial to prepare for opening up the facility to those who want to pay for the bus using Master and VISA cards.

  • The trial will be held on Sunday and Monday

  • During this period, bus services provided in the capital can be paid using Master and VISA contactless cards

  • Bus services in Male are charged MVR 7 per trip

At present, passengers can use bus cards as well as online tickets to pay for bus services offered by MTCC in the Male area. The online tickets are available through the RTL application.
