There is great news for the people of Delhi-Noida. Passengers traveling from Noida and Delhi Metro will be able to travel with a single Axis card (SBI Bank card for paying the journey fare). For this, both Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) are working together.
SBI Bank’s Axis Card launched
NMRC MD Dr. Lokesh M said that all the technical problems have been resolved. This new card will be launched soon. NMRC is celebrating its fifth Revenue Establishment Day on Thursday. On this occasion, NMRC also launched its new Axis Card of SBI Bank. This card is made on the theme of Chandrayaan-3. Soon people will start getting these cards.
He told that about 8 thousand passengers are using the card in Noida from January 1, 2023. Chandrayaan-3’s photo has also been included on the new card. Which we all countries see as success. MD said that NMRC will soon build three new routes here. First, its DPR from Sector-142 to Botanical Garden has been sent to the government.
There will be ticket vending machines at all stations
The second one is from Metro Depot to Bodaki, its DPR is also with the government and the third one is proposed from Knowledge Park. The more ridership there is, the more revenue Aqua Metro will get. Efforts are being made for this. MD said that now ticket vending machines will be installed at all metro stations. Bar code scanners were installed, charging stations and luggage counters were created at stations. Kiosks are also being built at metro stations so that revenue can be increased.
Feeder buses will run to increase ridership
Dr. Lokesh M said that an institution can run only when it has sufficient revenue resources. Presently we take Rs 110 crore from Noida Authority. By ending this we are now becoming self-reliant. Ridership is most important for us. For this we will also run feeder buses. It will be run by Noida Authority. Which will be built keeping in mind last mile connectivity. This will make it easier for passengers to access the metro.
Book e-rickshaw and bus seat through metro app
NMRC is going to launch a metro app. Through which, apart from e-rickshaws, autos and bikes, even seats in buses can be booked. This app is almost ready. This will also be launched. This will provide convenience to those passengers who come by metro and do not get local transport below the stations. This would be a much better option for them.
