Many of us don’t know about Delhi Metro’s one-day tourist card facility. There is a very good option for people who don’t travel frequently in the metro. For those people, The Delhi Metro launched special ‘Tourist Smart Cards’, offering “unlimited rides” in the metro network in September 2023.
Tourist Smart Card: Types
There are two types of travel cards: One-day card and three days card.
How to buy a Tourist Smart Card
You can get this tourist card at any of Delhi’s metro stations. With this card which has a validity of one day or three days, you can travel unlimited times inside Delhi Metro. You will not have to pay any extra charge for this.
Tourist Smart Card: How much you need to pay
The price of a tourist card with a validity of one day is Rs 200, of which Rs 50 is refundable and the price of a three-day tourist card is Rs 500. This card also includes a refundable security deposit of Rs 50. This tourist card can be used unlimited times at all metro stations except the Airport Express Line.
DMRC App
Tourists can also download the official app of ‘Delhi Metro Rail’ (DMRC App) to plan their travel. The app also includes a dedicated section called ‘Tour Guide’ on the home page. In this, tourists can see the list of all the stations around any tourist destination in Delhi.
Delhi Metro is closely connected to practically all of Delhi’s main tourist attractions, including the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Akshardham Temple, and Kalkaji Temple. In such cases, travellers may easily access these tourist destinations by travelling via various corridors of the Delhi Metro using these passes.
Meanwhile, The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said on Sunday, June 30 that more than half of the work on the three key lines for Delhi Metro’s fourth phase extension project has been completed.
“The Phase 4 expansion project is moving quickly, to launch all three priority routes, totaling 65 kilometers of additional lines, by 2026,” said DMRC authorities.
“At present, more than 50 per cent progress has already been achieved on all three corridors. On the Majlis Park-Maujpur corridor, about 80 per cent of civil work has been completed,” the DMRC’s principal executive director of corporate communications Anuj Dayal said.
