    The average increase in fare for all slabs is around 36 per cent, DMRC officials said.

    After the bus fare hike, commuters in Delhi will now have to shell out more for travelling on Metro rail as the DMRC hiked the minimum fare from Rs six to Rs eight while the maximum will be Rs 30 instead of Rs 22.

    The average increase in fare for all slabs is around 36 per cent, DMRC officials said.

    They said the 10 per cent discount on smart card will continue.

    This is the third time that DMRC has revised fares. The first one was in March 2004 while the second revision was in December 2005. The metro services started in the city in 2002.

    The poor Indian votersBy: Umesh | 11-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The Govt. has hiked the bus fare without giving any appropriate reason, the oil price did not hike in the recent past. The Metro rail has the right to hike the fare.. nobody dare to ask, WHY? The Govt. employees get good hike in their salary quiet often. But who will think about the larger private employees whose salaries were deducted giving reason of recession? Who should they approach?
    UPA back in PowerBy: Ram | 11-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The UPA has won all the elections since May'09 and they will show their mighty power on the citizens who have elected them. Mamata is atleast honest in contrast to Laloo who deceived general public by rising rail fares from the back channel of Tatkal and 3rd Side berth. Mamata will have to increase Rail fares to run the railways. Petrol, Diesel and Gas prices have to be raised. All essential commodity prices are going unchecked. Rice of Middle class is at Rs.38/kg. Now that the elections are over, Congress will bring out all unwanted hyped news items about Pak, China, Australia, US etc. through their traditional mouthpieces making the people forget the day-to-day difficulties. It is time for Aam Aadmi to weep, but again we will vote the UPA in 2014 to see the beautiful Rahul Gandhi and forget all our tears.
