Travelling on Delhi Metro s Airport Line gets easier - Here s how
Good news for Delhi Metro commuters. Passengers travelling on the Airport Line need not to buy a separate token or card to board a train. Passengers carrying a RuPay-Debit card can now gain entry into the station premises and board a train.Â
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to launch the National Common Mobility Card today. It will be fully operationalised on the Airport Express Line. It will enable passengers carrying a RuPay-Debit Card issued from any part of the country to travel on the route using it.Â
The prime minister said work is going on to develop the tourist attractions in the national capital. He was speaking after inaugurating the first-ever driverless Metro operations and launching the expansion of the National Common Mobility Card to the Airport Express Line of Delhi Metro via video conference. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also present at the virtual event. Delhi is the capital of a big economic and strategic power of more than 130 crore people. Its grandeur should be evident here, PM Modi said. He said the government has incentivised electric mobility by giving tax rebates in Delhi, adding that the city s old infrastructure is also being transformed with the help of modern technology.
