Hi All !
Off late Delhi Metro Authority had raised the minimum amount that could be topped up on the smart card using the vending machine. But now they have dropped down to their original value of Rs 100. Although the top up service using customer care centre still remains the hiked amount f Rs 200.
The statement issued by the authority justifying the hike was :-
" As most of Delhi Metro's smart card users today are regular travellers, and with the opening of the Rapid Metro and more corridors of Phase 3, the maximum fare required for travel will increase as the commuters would cover more distance. Therefore, increasing the minimum add value of the cards will help commuters as they won't have to stand in queue and recharge their cards time and again. "
Whatever be the reason, a drastic change of doubling the amount is unreasonable !
