Commuters will have to pay Rs 5-10 extra, no change in the fares of Airport Express Line
Today's Paper : The increased metro fares will be applicable from Tuesday as scheduled, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced on Monday.
The DMRC fare hike, which comes barely five months within the last one, will affect every commuter who travels beyond 5 km. The maximum fare, for journeys beyond 32 km, will now be Rs 60.
This is the second fare hike this year as proposed by the Fare Fixation Committee which was formed last year. The increased charges were to be applied in two phases - the first hike was already done in May this year.
The revised fare structure will be: up to 2 km — Rs 10, 2 to 5 km — Rs 20, 5 to 12 km — Rs 30, 12 to 21 km — Rs 40, 21 to 32 km — Rs 50 and for journeys beyond 32 km — Rs 60.
Barring the minimum fare of Rs 10 for the distance of 0-2 km that will remain the same, commuters will have to pay Rs 5-10 extra for distance travelled further as per kilometre scheme set by the transporter.
While commuters pay Rs 15 for the distance traveled between 2-5 km, now they will have to pay Rs 20. The maximum fare has been increased to Rs 60 as compared to current Rs 50.
Smart card users will continue to get 10 per cent discount, so would those who happen to use metro during non-peak hours - between the start of the metro service till 8 am, between 12 pm and 5 pm, and from 9 pm till the close of service. | Readmore...
