Visitors to the Commonwealth Games venues will not have to purchase separate tokens for travelling by the Delhi Metro. Tickets to the Games venues will have special foils which will facilitate their travel by the metro system.
According to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation officials, the Commonwealth Games tickets, which will be date, venue and event specific, will have two detachable foils for up and down journey by the metro.
“These foils will have the same unique serial numbers which will be mentioned on the Games ticket and will be valid for that venue and date only. The manual gates at the stations will be used for the entry and exit of the commuters with these Games tickets. Guards and volunteers from DMRC will verify the foils by perforating them and will collect them from the commuters at the exit station,” said a DMRC spokesperson.
