Delhi Metro Introduces Special ‘Tourist Smart Cards’ for G20 Summit Visitors.
In a wonderful effort to enhance the experience of our international friends and visitors who will be attending the G20 Summit in Delhi, we have some exciting news to share! The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is rolling out something special just for you – ‘Tourist Smart Cards.’ These nifty cards have been specially crafted to make your travel within our city an absolute breeze, and they will be available at selected metro stations starting from September 4th for a limited 10-day period.
Now, let’s dive into the details. These smart cards will be waiting for you at dedicated counters in a total of 36 metro stations across Delhi. And guess what? We’ve got not one but two fantastic options for you to choose from – the one-day validity card and the three-day validity card. With these in your pocket, you’ll have the freedom to hop on and off our extensive metro network as much as you like, making it super convenient to explore all of Delhi’s amazing tourist hotspots.
So, let’s talk prices! The one-day validity Tourist Smart Card comes at an affordable rate of just Rs 200, and if you’re planning to stay a bit longer and soak in all the Delhi vibes, the three-day validity Tourist Smart Card is priced at Rs 500. And don’t worry, we’ve got your back with a refundable security deposit of Rs 50 included in that.
Now, here’s the best part – these cards give you unrestricted access to the entire metro network. No need to worry about entry/exit mismatches or overstaying within the system – we won’t be hitting you with any pesky penalties or surcharges. We’re here to make sure your journey is smooth and hassle-free.
To make your Delhi exploration even more enjoyable, we’ve got a little bonus for you. The Delhi Metro Rail offers a handy app that’s your go-to guide for everything metro-related. Inside the app, you’ll find a dedicated ‘Tour Guide’ section, where we’ve laid out all the metro stations and nearby tourist attractions just for you. It’s like having your own personal tour guide right in your pocket!
