Railway Rules Update: Integrated Ticket Booking for Delhi Metro and Namo Bharat Introduced

Passengers traveling in the National Capital Region (NCR) have received a significant convenience boost with the launch of an integrated QR-ticketing system by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). This initiative aligns with the Government’s ‘One India-One Ticket’ vision to simplify inter-modal travel.

What’s New?

Seamless Ticketing Across Two Networks

• Passengers can now book QR code tickets for:
  • Delhi Metro through the ‘DMRC Momentum 2.0’ app.
  • Namo Bharat (RRTS) through the ‘RRTS Connect’ app.

This digital integration makes it possible to travel across both networks without separate tickets.

Part of the Government’s Vision

• Supports the PM National Gati Shakti Master Plan for integrated infrastructure.
• Aims to reduce congestion, encourage public transport, and promote eco-friendly travel in NCR.

Benefits for Passengers

• Convenience: No more separate ticket queues for Metro and Namo Bharat trains.
• Time-Saving: Digital ticketing reduces wait times.
• Enhanced Connectivity: Seamless travel across the 42 km RRTS corridor and 393 km DMRC Metro network.
• Digital and Eco-Friendly: Promotes cashless transactions and green travel.

Future Developments

• MoU with IRCTC:
  Passengers will soon be able to book Namo Bharat and Indian Railways tickets via the IRCTC platform, making inter-city and intra-city travel more convenient.

• Comprehensive Transit Network:
  The collaboration between regional RRTS services and intra-city Metro services aims to build a sustainable transit future for NCR.

Conclusion

This integrated ticketing system represents a major milestone in enhancing urban mobility and passenger experience in the NCR region. With this initiative, millions of commuters can look forward to faster, simpler, and more sustainable travel.
