Actually, now there will be no need of token or smartcard to travel by metro. Now commuters can pay for their metro journey through their debit and credit cards. New Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) machines are being installed by DMRC for this.

New machines are being installed at 44 stations
Apart from smart cards, you will be able to pay metro fare through debit and credit cards, Near Field Communication (NFC), QR code-based ticketing mobile phones and paper QR tickets. DMRC has started installing Automatic Fare Collection i.e. AFC system at 44 stations during the fourth phase.

DMRC official said that in addition to cashless and human error free transactions in the new system, more digitization of services will be encouraged. Passengers will be able to use their credit or debit cards as smart cards. At present, this facility is available only on the Airport Express Line in the capital.


All bank cards will be accepted
Let us tell you that at present this facility is available in some metropolitan cities like Kochi and Nagpur. But here only debit / credit cards of particular banks are taken. DMRC’s system will accept transactions from all banks through RuPay portal. The new system will also help in creating more ‘fare zones’ in the metro network.

Delhi Metro fare can be paid in these ways

For this, the passenger has to go to the customer service window. In this new system, penalty can be paid only through smart card.

Let us tell you that DMRC will also integrate Point of Sale (POS) terminal with ticketing machines in the customer service at Phase-I and II stations. In this smart card can also be recharged from POS.
