One ticket soon for DTC, Metro
Nov. 12: The Delhi government will soon introduce common tickets for DTC buses and the Metro and the trial will start this month itself, said Delhi transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely during the inaugural function."The system trials for common ticket will start on November 24. It will be introduced in a few areas in the capital initially," the minister said at the inauguration of Metro’s Noida section.
Meanwhile, DMRC chief E. Sreedharan on Thursday justified the increase in fares. He said that in view of the quality service, depreciation of Metro assets and increasing costs, the hike, effected after four years, is reasonable. "Such steps are needed to ensure that the institution remains in good financial health," he said. Chief minister Sheila Dikshit also supported the hike saying people were "getting so much comfort and facilities".
