DMRC To upgrade ticketing system

New Delhi: Commuters taking the Delhi Metro will soon be able to undertake journeys using QR codes on their smartphones with stored value, similar to a smart card, officials said on Saturday. DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar said, “We are planning to introduce QR for stored value. It will be like a card and will not be restricted to a single journey. It will also reduce the number of paper prints.” The facility will be available on all platforms that currently offer DMRC QR tickets. It will also enable passengers to top up their QR wallet on the mobile app, eliminating the need to purchase a new physical or virtual QR ticket for each journey.
