Gone are the days of standing in long queues at Delhi Metro stations for ticket booking. In a move to make travel more seamless for the 6.5 million daily riders, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has partnered with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) to provide metro ticket online booking services via mobile apps.
This means commuters no longer need to download the dedicated Delhi Metro or Noida Metro app. Instead, QR-based tickets can now be booked through more than 10 widely used apps, including Google Maps, EaseMyTrip, PhonePe, Uber, Rapido, RedBus, NammaYatri, Yatri Railways, Chartr, Tummoc, and even Telegram (via Miles & Kilometres).
