Paytm, India’s leading mobile wallet and payments company, has partnered with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to launch QR code-based tickets for metro travel. This new feature will allow commuters to purchase and use metro tickets using their Paytm app, without the need to carry a physical ticket.
How to use QR code-based tickets on the Delhi Metro
To use QR code-based tickets on the Delhi Metro, commuters need to follow these steps:
- Open the Paytm app and go to the Metro section.
- Select the source and destination stations.
- Enter the number of passengers and choose the type of ticket (single journey or return journey).
- Pay for the tickets using your Paytm wallet or any other payment method available on Paytm.
- Once the payment is successful, you will receive a QR code ticket on your Paytm app.
- To enter the metro station, simply scan the QR code ticket at the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gate.
- To exit the metro station, scan the QR code ticket at the AFC gate again.
Benefits of using QR code-based tickets
There are a number of benefits to using QR code-based tickets on the Delhi Metro, including:
- Convenience: QR code-based tickets are much more convenient to use than physical tickets. You do not need to carry a physical ticket, and you can purchase tickets at any time, even when you are on the go.
- Speed: QR code-based tickets can be scanned quickly and easily at AFC gates, which means that you can enter and exit metro stations faster.
- Security: QR code-based tickets are more secure than physical tickets, as they cannot be forged or counterfeited.
Overall, the launch of QR code-based tickets on the Delhi Metro is a welcome move. It will make metro travel more convenient, faster, and more secure for commuters.
