DMRC Launches Digital QR Code-Based Ticketing Service Via Amazon Pay
New Delhi: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has expanded its Digital QR Ticketing service to include Amazon Pay. With this move, Delhi Metro commuters can now purchase their travel tickets online through the platform. Previously available via several other apps, this QR code-based ticketing facility now offers an additional method for booking one-way tickets. The purchased ticket will be valid for entry at the source station only until the end of the business day on the day of purchase.
DMRC Expands Digital QR Ticketing to Amazon Pay
In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced its partnership with Amazon Pay to expand its Digital QR Ticketing service. This platform joins existing options such as WhatsApp, Paytm, DMRC Momentum 2.0, One Delhi, and Tummoc app, offering one-way tickets for the Delhi Metro. To use this facility, commuters can navigate to the Amazon Pay tab on the Amazon app and either find the ‘Delhi Metro QR ticket’ option in the Quick Actions area or search for it. Tapping on the service will direct users to a separate page where they can select the origin and destination stations and the number of tickets. Notably, users can purchase up to six one-way tickets from one account for the same origin and destination. There is currently no option to book two-way tickets.
Once the payment is made, the commuter will receive a mobile QR ticket instantly. When the smartphone is held in front of the QR code scanner at the Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) gates with the ticket opened, the commuter will be able to enter and exit the gate. Notably, the ticket is only valid between the origin and destination stations. In case a commuter over-travels beyond the destination station, they will be allowed to exit after paying the difference in fare at the Customer Care Office located within the station’s premises. In case one exits a station earlier than the destination, no refund will be paid. Further, a new ticket can only be purchased from the platform after one hour has elapsed from the previous ticket purchase. Access to the Internet will be necessary to generate a ticket.
