To continue their journey, passengers simply hold their smartphones in front of the QR code scanner at the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates at both entry and exit stations. This facility was previously only accessible via the Airport Express Line.
Dr. Vikas Kumar stated that the introduction of this Paytm QR-based ticketing for all Delhi Metro lines would allow for efficient and trouble-free travel for the National Capital’s many metro commuters. Our recent actions to support digital ticketing demonstrate our commitment to the “Digital India” project, which aims to deliver government services electronically with improved internet infrastructure and inclusivity, he continued.
