Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) have collaborated to promote the ‘One India – One Ticket’ initiative. It will enhance travel experience for the Main Line Railway and Metro passengers in the Delhi NCR area.
The “Beta Version” of Delhi Metro Rail QR Code–based ticket was launched today thereby enabling main line Railway passengers to book DMRC QR Code Tickets on IRCTC Website and Android version of Mobile App.
Currently, single journey tickets of Delhi Metro can only be booked on the day of travel with same day validity. With this facility, the DMRC-IRCTC QR code-based tickets will be synchronized with Indian Railways’ Advance Reservation Period (ARP) allowing passengers to book even Metro tickets upto 120 days in advance. Further, the Metro tickets will be valid for a single journey for a period of four days starting from the day before the DMRC journey date, the travel date itself, and two days after the journey date.
Key features of the new system include:
– Advanced booking: Metro tickets can now be reserved up to 120 days in advance, aligning with Indian Railways’ advance reservation period.
– Extended validity: DMRC tickets will be valid for four days, offering flexibility to travellers.
– Seamless integration:Railway passengers can book Delhi Metro tickets alongside their train tickets, either at the source or destination station within the Delhi/NCR region.
– Flexible cancellations: The system allows for easy cancellations, enhancing user convenience.
