Under One India One Ticket, just like passengers book train tickets from IRCTC, now they will be able to book Delhi Metro tickets from IRCTC website or mobile app to reach home from the railway station at the same time. And the special thing is that this token with Delhi Metro QR code will be visible on the passenger’s online train ticket as soon as it is booked, so that one can travel in Delhi Metro with the QR code of the metro train recorded on it. In this way, after getting off the train, the passenger will not have to stand in a separate line to get a ticket in the metro. Rather, the journey will be easy with the same booked ticket.
Tickets can be booked 4 months in advance.
Information provided by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said that these QR code based tickets of metro can be booked from IRCTC website up to 120 days in advance i.e. about 4 months in advance and will remain valid for the next 4 days. So that even if the train is getting delayed, this ticket does not go waste and passengers can avail its benefits.
This token with Delhi Metro’s QR code will be printed on the electronic slip
. This token will also be printed on the electronic reservation slip of IRCTC for the passenger. This will be based on one QR code for one passenger. Let us tell you that this is being done for the first time by the Center for Railway Information System, IRCTC and Metro. This will be of great benefit to the passengers. Its beta version has been launched. During this, IRCTC CMD Sanjay Kumar Jain, DMRC MD Vikas Kumar said that after the success of the beta version, its regular version will also be launched soon.
Till now this is the rule:
Till now single journey ticket in Delhi Metro can be booked only on the day of travel and it is valid for that day only. But now after this facility, if booked with railway ticket, then this ticket will be valid for 120 days. Not only this, the facility of ticket cancellation will also be flexible.
