Travelling in the Delhi Metro, often referred to as the lifeline of the National Capital Region, is all set to get costlier from today. The fare hike has led to tickets costing Rs 10 more, with a maximum fare of Rs 60. While some are supporting the fare hike, others are unhappy with the decision to increase prices. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called the hike "too steep" and tweeted, "The centre should have been more considerate for common man."
When the Delhi Metro started operating in 2002, the minimum fare was Rs 4 and maximum was Rs 8. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has defended its second fare increase in six months, citing rising losses and input costs over the years. Here is how people on Twitter are reacting to the DMRC fare hike:
Many have called the fare hike troublesome
Others, however, have justified the fare hike
