Common ticket for travelling on bus, metro soon

Commuters in the national capital will soon be able to avail the facility of common ticketing for travelling on both DTC buses and metro trains.

Delhi transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said the common ticketing will be introduced on November 24 on an experimental basis in certain areas of the city.

"Common ticketing will help those commuters who travel both on metro and DTC buses," he told reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the 13.1-km Yamuna Bank-Noida metro line.

The transport authorities of the Delhi government and the DMRC have already held several rounds of discussions to finalise the facility.
