Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) expanded its WhatsApp-based ticketing system to all its lines, including the Gurugram Rapid Metro.
The WhatsApp ticketing system was launched earlier this year on the Airport Express Line in collaboration with Meta and their authorised partner Pelocal Fintech Pvt. Ltd.
With the expansion, the service available in English and Hindi now covers 288 metro stations, across metro lines.
“We are confident that this integration will encourage more commuters to choose the Delhi metro as their preferred mode of travel,” Vikas Kumar, Managing Director of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), said.
