In a push to make processes hands-free in the IT hub of India, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) will reportedly replace smart cards, tokens and passes with face recognition technology at the automatic fare collection (AFC) gates of the Namma Metro stations.
The BMRCL has partnered with tech giant Google and is in the process of introducing monthly passes by using artificial intelligence to scan faces.
Anjum Parwez, managing director of the BMRCL, was quoted as saying that passengers can soon walk through the AFC gates and it will automatically open after using the AI facial recognition tool.
