Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) introduced the Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT), a digital upgrade aimed at enhancing passenger convenience by replacing daily QR tickets. Starting Friday, commuters can purchase this innovative ticket.
The MJQRT is a step towards eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional smart cards. «This initiative marks a significant milestone as it is the first QR-based multiple-journey product launched in India,» stated a DMRC official.
Available exclusively through the DMRC's Delhi Metro Sarathi (Momentum 2.0) app, MJQRT offers a streamlined way to manage multiple journeys. Users need to register on the 2.0 app and start with a minimum amount of Rs 150, which will be used for metro travel. There is no security deposit required.
Passengers can add value to their MJQRT in multiples of Rs 50 using digital payment methods like UPI, credit, and debit cards, with a maximum balance limit of Rs 3,000. A minimum balance of Rs 60 is necessary for travel. The MJQRT provides a 10% discount during peak hours (8 am-12 pm and 5 pm-9 pm) and a 20% discount during off-peak hours.
In case of theft, loss, or damage to the mobile device, the remaining balance will be secure, allowing passengers to continue using MJQRT by logging in on a different device. Anuj Dayal, principal executive director of corporate communications at DMRC, highlighted that the ‘Ease of Booking’ program supports various ticket booking methods, fare media, and payment options.
