Metro (Delhi) — Presently, the Delhi Metro network consists of about 208 Km with 150 stations along with six more stations of the Airport Express Link. The network (which totals six train lines – distinguished by color) has now crossed the boundaries of Delhi to reach NOIDA and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh,Gurgaon and faridabad in Haryana.
Fares are calculated based on the origin and destination stations using a fare chart. The ticket, which could be a card or a token, is purchased from the Ticket Counter. The passenger then proceeds to one of several gates that separate the Paid Area from the Unpaid Area. Here, the passenger will hold the ticket close to the machine to the right of the gate. If valid, the gates will open automatically, and the passenger can pass to the Paid Area. If not valid, then the passenger will need to contact the Customer Service Staff.
