Starting Wednesday, a metro ride in Delhi will cost you nearly double the amount it currently does, with the authorities announcing a steep, two-phase hike in passenger fares today.
The new minimum fare will be Rs 10, up from Rs 8, while the maximum would be Rs 50 till September, and Rs 60 from October, as against the existing Rs 30, metro chief spokesperson Anuj Dayal told a press conference. There will be a total of six fare slabs as against the existing 15. The last hike was effected in 2009.
Dayal said on Sundays and national holidays (January 26, August 15 and October 2), there would be a discount of around Rs 10 across slabs.
The new fare structure, Monday through Saturday, is: up to 2 kms -- Rs 10, 2 to 5 kms -- Rs 15, 5 to 12 kms -- Rs 20, 12 to 21 kms -- Rs 30, 21 to 32 kms -- Rs 40, and for journeys of over 32 kms Rs 50.
From October 1, it would be: Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 30, Rs 40, Rs 50 and Rs 60 for the corresponding slabs.
The new fare structure has another feature: 10 per cent discount on travelling during off-peak hours, that is from 6AM to 8AM, 12PM to 5PM and 9PM onwards. For those using smart cards, the discount will over and above the 10 per cent they already enjoy.
