Now, travelling on Delhi Metro has been made more hassle free with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) upgrading its Mobile Application with several new commuter-friendly features.
The app will allow Metro passengers to locate the nearest Metro station, find fares for desired travel, feedback from passengers, information for timings about the first and last train at stations and information about the availability of shorter routes.
