Metro Ticket: Forgot your metro card? No worries! Use your mobile phone as a ticket; here's how to activate a virtual card on your phone..
Delhi Metro has taken digital ticketing a step further by launching a QR code-based virtual metro card facility. Now, passengers no longer need to carry a physical MetroCard or stand in line at ticket counters. The Delhi Metro Sarthi app transforms your smartphone into a metro card, making travel completely digital and convenient.
Digital Travel Made Possible with QR Tickets
The QR code-based ticketing system launched at Delhi Metro stations is the foundation of this change. This technology generates a reusable QR code on your phone. Once created, this QR code remains valid as long as there is a balance available. There's no need to buy a new ticket before each journey.
Virtual Card Created with Delhi Metro Sarthi App
To transform your phone into a Metro Card, you need to use the Delhi Metro Sarthi app, formerly known as Momentum 2.0. It works on both Android and iPhone. Log in using your mobile number and OTP. Then select the virtual smart card option. It will ask for a minimum amount, and once you enter it, the QR code will be activated on your phone. Now you can use this QR code to scan at the entry and exit gates for your journey.
Major Advantages of the Virtual Metro Card
The virtual card on your phone is considered better than a physical card in many ways. For example, there's no fear of losing or damaging the card, no security deposit, no need to stand in line to recharge, no worries about excess balance getting stuck, and the entire transaction is digital and trackable.
Travel Will Be Easy and Completely Digital
Once set up, metro travel becomes incredibly easy. Simply take out your phone, scan the QR code, and start your journey without any hassle. In the era of Digital India, this facility saves time, effort, and inconvenience.
