r/DelhiMetro

I recently visited Delhi for the first time and i noticed that in most places you have to use stairs going Downwards, but while coming back you can access accelerators

My Question is why isn't it both ways!? 💢

So today, 13th may at 4 PM I saw like 5-6 members of bomb disposal squad at Rajiv chowk metro station. Anybody know the reason or is there anything on the news?

Is there any card or way that works for both delhi and noida(aqua) metro?

If not then what are the best options to travel in the aqua line as metro one card is best for dmrc.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick heads-up for those using the Delhi Metro. The Delhi Metro One Card is available at every metro station across Delhi. If a customer care representative tries to pressure you into purchasing the Airtel NCMC Card, remember that they cannot force you to do so.

You have the right to simply refuse and ask to purchase only the Delhi Metro One Card. If needed, you can escalate the matter by contacting the Station Manager at the station you're at.

You can find the contact numbers for station managers here: https://delhimetrorail.com/contact-us.

Stay informed and travel smart!

I didn’t use to carry a wallet. Just a debit card and some cash and with metro card in my pocket.

Many times I got confused at the machine, which card to use. It became annoying.

So I decided to fix it. I closed my metro card and applied for a combo card from ICICI Bank. It worked as both a debit card and a metro card. One card for everything.

It made life easier. I used it for cash withdrawal, and for metro travel, office and weekends.
There was also auto recharge. If the balance went below ₹100, ₹200 was added automatically from my account. No need to stand in line, no manual recharge.
For the first 1–2 months, I saw the amount getting deducted. Then something strange happened. The card kept recharging, but no money was deducted.
Still I kept using it. Days passed then months then years. I even noted the recharge amounts in a notebook. Slowly, it added up to around 40k-50k
Later I called customer care and explained everything. They said it was likely a glitch. There was no record of any deduction, and I didn’t have to pay anything.

Honestly it felt like luck, free metro rides for more than 3 years.
