Delhi metro on Thursday introduced ‘Multiple Journey QR Ticket’ (MJQRT) to enhance passenger convenience by eliminating the need for purchasing daily QR tickets.
Delhi Metro’s Principal Executive Director Anuj Dayal said, “As part of its ongoing ‘Ease of Booking’ initiative through digitalization, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today launched the Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT), a cutting-edge technology designed to offer greater convenience for passengers by eliminating the need for purchasing daily QR tickets.”
DMRC’s Managing Director Dr. Vikas Kumar launched the new feature at Metro Bhawan in the presence of other senior officials. Kumar, while launching the initiative, said, “We are pleased to launch the Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT) as part of our ‘Ease of Booking’ initiative. MJQRT simplifies travel with a single QR code, enhancing convenience and offering eco-friendly benefits. This innovation reflects our commitment to improving the passenger experience on Delhi Metro”
He said that the MJQRT is a revolutionary digital initiative, marking the first time in India that a QR-based multiple-journey product is being introduced.
It is available exclusively on DMRC’s Delhi Metro Sarathi (Momentum 2.0) app and the feature will be available for App users from Friday.”Passengers will be able to view their journeys, including fare payments and recharges, directly on the app. To avail the MJQRT, users must register on the app and start with an initial amount of Rs. 150, which can be used for metro travel,” Dayal added.
Further, users can easily add value in multiples of Rs. 50 through digital payment methods such as UPI, credit cards, and debit cards, with a maximum balance limit of Rs. 3,000. “There is no security deposit required for the MJQRT.
A minimum balance of Rs. 60 is required to travel using the MJQRT,” he said.
This feature also offers passengers a 10 per cent discount during peak hours between 8 am to 12 pm and 5 pm to 9 pm and a 20 per ent discount during off-peak hours. “MJQRT serves as an eco-friendly and economical alternative to the traditional smart cards currently in use,” he said, adding that in case of theft, loss, or damage to the mobile device, the remaining balance will remain intact, and passengers can continue using the MJQRT by logging in on another device.
